drafting: "hidden components" on sections (NX 7.5)
drafting: "hidden components" on sections (NX 7.5)
(OP)
Hi,
Small question:
I'm currently updating a sketch from an assembly in NX drafting (via teamcenter, but I don't think that matters here).
With the update of the assembly, a piece was added. Now, I used the "hidden components" option on some of my views to hide some of the parts in the drawings (the assembly is being 'built up' over the course of several sheets).
Now that the new pieces have been added, I again have to hide them via the "hidden components" option. The problem here is that I can't seem to do this for section views.
When a section view is first created, it will only show the bodies that were in the original view, but when some bodies are being hidden in that view, the section won't update.
Only solution I see is to delete the section and remake it. Is there another way?

Edit -> View -> Update Views
...and make sure that the section view is one of the views selected.

But how exactly do you go and hide components in your sectioned view. The option I used for the other views is not available for a section. (right click on the view in the part navigator -> edit -> hidden components)
I was actually hoping that there was a way to link a sectioned view to its parent, so that if I hide a component in the parent, it would also be hidden in the section.

Edit -> View -> Hide Components...
...and select the Component(s) first and then the View.
