Object display on Importet View in Drafting

Object display on Importet View in Drafting

(OP)
Hi!

Working on NX 5.0.5.3 Master Model concept with TC integration.

In the drawing specification of a "Pneumatic System" I would like to show the placement of the "Pneumatic System" in the "Main Assy".

I achive this by adding a part view and thats all working. However, since the "Main Assy" is a bit complex I would like to emphasize the "Pneumatic System" in the part view.

Object Display works on the Base view and enables me to change line type but is it possible to do this on a part view?

RE: Object display on Importet View in Drafting

I wouldn't necessarily prefer using object display. Rather you might want to look into the functionality of defined render sets in drafting. You'll find it under the view tab of the view style dialog in drafting.

Render Sets worked on Base Views, however, on views imported from parts it doesn't work.

So my problem is still how to emphesize a part on a view imported from part...

Any ideas?

RE: Object display on Importet View in Drafting

Yes it seems you're correct. I don't know why it should not work. You may have to resort to actually adding the component directly either on a separate layer or using the "remove component from view" function to ensure it appears only in the appropriate places. I'm suggesting of course that you stick to defining render sets in certain views where necessary, but unfortunately it seems you may have to forgo the convenience of adding the view from you reference part using that imported method.
