Excluded reference set trouble (NX5)
Excluded reference set trouble (NX5)
(OP)
I have an assembly with several sub-assemblies. For some reason one of the subs has become an excluded reference set and cannot be made visible. When I try to make it a work part the reference set changes to "empty." How can I fix this?

If you should NEVER create reference sets inside an Assembly, how do you control object visibility at the Drawing level ?
I'd have suggested layers, but you also seem to suggest not using layers,

Try the show/hide component in view commands.

How about, if my model contains multiple solids ? For example, 'in process' models (on different layers).
Similarly, if I want to have Sketch curves carried up from the solid models and displayed in drawing views ?

I tend to use Extract Body (at Timestamp) in the solid model file to create the in-process bodies. When in the drawing file, I resort to layering and visible in view.

That being said, I have to be careful how I use the word 'Arcane' around our house since my son chose to use that name for the company he's a co-owner of, 'Arcane Technology Group'. I tried to explain to him that a term like 'arcane' may not be the best choice for a computer services company, but they seem to be doing OK so who's to say

As for the MoldWizard issue, that product was developed long before we had such things as Arrangements and such, which I suspect that if we were redo it from scratch today, it would be very different in many ways.

Actually I just noticed that they have updated their website and he's now listed as the 'Master of IT' (formerly he and his business partner were simply listed a 'principles').
