Representations in a Part?
Representations in a Part?
(OP)
Is it possible to have view representations in a part? Or any tricks to what I'm trying to achieve?
I have parts in which the profile and some hole locations can be rough cut (plasma, waterjet), but then I'd then like to unsupress the machining features for a secondary machining step, like adding taps or precision bore.
I don't want to create another part file to do this or go in and manipulate the dxf if I don't have to.
I'm using Inventor 11. If this is possible in a newer release I would be very interested to know which.
Thanks in advance.

RE: Representations in a Part?
You are handling it the best way assuming you don't want another part number. I always find is best to have a separate part number for a blank and another part number for the finished part but that's not for you I guess.
So simply supress your secondary step features to show only the blank and unsupress to show the final machined part.
