Reference sets and drawings

Reference sets and drawings

Reference sets and drawings

(OP)
.
I have an assembly containing several reference sets.
These reference sets are so-called configurations.
I would like to make one drawing for one configuration.
Is there any way to do this job?
(The assembly is quite large: over 100 parts and 8 reference sets.)

RE: Reference sets and drawings

Unfortunately you can't specify reference sets to be used in a specific view.  The easiest solution would probably be to create your various reference sets in your top level assy, this would be in addition to whatever reference sets you already have created in the components (we'll call this assy "X").  Then add assembly "X" as a component of a new assembly (we'll call this new assembly "Y").  Then in your assembly navigator simply set the reference set of assy X to whatever one you want.  You would need to create a new top-level assy for each reference set you want to detail.  If it's confusing let me know and I can go into greater detail.

Take care....

RE: Reference sets and drawings

Another solution would be to just create a new sheet for each reference set and just be sure to have those reference sets turned on when working in that sheet.  That would be easier than the above method but it relies on the user having the proper reference sets turned on.  A note on the drawing might solve this.

Take care...
