wf2 hiding components question |
|
|
Is there a way to hide components and bring up the assembly drawing without
those components hidden in the drawing?
TIA

Jason,
Not sure in WF as I am on r2001, but instead of hiding from the model
tree
Add the componet to a new layer and hide that layer , then it will show
in your drawing
there is also a config option... draw_layer_overrides_model
which may let you go the other way around |

But you have to do it in the assy....blank is the proper term not hide
If you do it in the drawing then it doesn't show in the drawing

You might also look into hiding or excluding them in a rep. If the drawing
isn't based on the rep it won't be disturbed. |

No, use a simplified rep. |

In Wildfire 2 there is a hide command, but I understand what you are saying
as I have used 2000i for several years. Thanks anyway cad/cam/guy. |

Jason,
So if you add the componet to a layer in the assy. and blank the layer
in the assy , now it doesn't show in the drawing also. Just did it in
r2001, not there in the assy, but there in the assy. drawing.
There is again in r2001, the view>model setup>componet display>create
and you can create different vis modes ..not showing different
componets in the assy. but they do show in the drawing... which is a
lot like a simp. rep liitle easier on the settings...let me guess..gone
in WF :-) |

Thanks everyone...but I was just hoping for a config option or something
because I just find it annoying when going back and forth between an
assembly I am working on and the drawing....guess simplified reps is the
only way...oh well.....

Not sure I'm following, but the equiv in WF might be a view "style".
To go off on a tangent; working large assemblies I've found the resolution
times to be pretty long when Hiding and UnHiding components (might be my
antiquated hardware.) I've gotten in the habit of using simp reps and
excluding or restoring the components. It's proven faster and without
unwanted side effects. I've only recently started using the view styles
and haven't tried them on large assy's yet. (For what little it might be
worth.) |

yeah...you can still do it that way but I didn't want to have to do that
much. Right now in WF2 you can use your mouse to click on any part in an
assembly and then right click "hide" and it dissappears. It is great when
working on a large assembly when you only want components out of the way for
the moment, without creating layers or simplified reps. The only drawback is
that when you toggle back to your drawing the parts are blanked there too.
So before you print your drawing you have to make sure all components are
shown.

I see what your saying... well why not mapkey view>unhide all along
with a print mapkey... so it will always show everything
prior to printing... can't say for WF but in r2001 if I hide in assy
and unhide all in drawing they come back
One less thing to have to remember ... that's always good :-) |

In WF and WF2 Hiding replaces Blanking. In 2001 hiding is temporary, but in WF and WF2 it not. So, you have to be very careful about what you hide.
You could build a mapkey, but it's probably not necessary. But if it works go for it.
