Alternate Position Drawings
Alternate Position Drawings
(OP)
I'm trying to create an alternate position drawing of a gas spring in SW01+. I have the gas spring modeled as a single part, with 2 configurations. The default config shows the gas spring in it's normaly extended position, and the other config shows the gas spring compressed.
When I try to instert the alternate position view (Insert>Drawing View>Alternate Position) I can't select the option because it is grayed-out. Do alternate position drawing views only only work for assemblies, or am I doing something wrong?
This is my first time using this option in SW.
