How to show alternate assembly positions in my draft?
How to show alternate assembly positions in my draft?
(OP)
I have a model of a valve body, with a shuttle valve that is either pushed in or pulled out.
In my assembly model I have 2 configurations (if that's the right term) of the model, one with the valve pushed in and one pulled out.
I created this by changing the value on one of my mates in the alternate assemblies tab.
What I would like to show on my draft is the assembly with the valve pushed in, and a dotted line (ghost outline) showing the pulled out position of the handle.
How can I get this to show up?
Thanks

Then, in the draft, under properties for that view, set the second shuttle valve to appear as reference only.
This would cause the object line to change to a reference line.
There may be other ways to do this with families of assemblies, but I have not come across them yet.

I guess that's way I'll have to do it.
When I used Solidworks, there was a feature for that, and I expected Solid Edge to have the same.

The plus with SW is that with more users, you're more likely to find someone that does know how to do it.
Have you looked in help or contacted GTAC/your VAR?
