Identifying Reference Set Entities

Identifying Reference Set Entities

Identifying Reference Set Entities

(OP)
I'm having a problem identifying what the entities are in a SOLID reference set.

The part in question has a total of 35 entities.
1 of these is the main "Solid Body" (with various elements WAVE linked from a single "master" model).
29 entities are assembled "Components"(which have all subsequently been wave linked and used to cut a section from the above "Solid Body")(Its an injection moulding with threaded inserts).
How do I identify what the other 5 entities are?

Now to add to this ... I've assembled and wave linked the above described part into a new part (to do a subsequent machining operation).
When I have both parts open, the above parent part no longer has 35 entities but 64!
Where did the other 29 appear from (they must be related to the threaded inserts somehow)?

For note: This is a part inherited from a colleague who had their wave linking finger set to "rapid fire"!

RE: Identifying Reference Set Entities

go to the format referernceset, mark the model referenceset,
start the informaton button from the dialog

RE: Identifying Reference Set Entities

Another way is to right click in some white space of the part navigator and turn off 'timestamp order'. Now you will see an entry 'Reference sets'. All the top level nodes under the reference set name are the entities contained in the reference set.

RE: Identifying Reference Set Entities

If you're in the Format -> Reference Set dialog just selecting 'Model' from the list will cause all of the objects in the 'Model' Reference Set to highlight on the screen.
