What is the UG NX equivalent to ProE's simplified rep?
What is the UG NX equivalent to ProE's simplified rep?
(OP)
I'm a ProE designer that has been asked to help out getting a UG NX6 project back on schedule. I'm doing a drawing of a very large assembly (8000 components +). The design is a weldment with a substantial amount of bolt on piece parts. Unfortunately, there are no sub assemblies. The majority of the views are of the basic weldment. I was told to just hide the components in each view, but I suspect there is a better way.....arrangements, layers or reference sets? Any help would be appreciated.

NX has a wide variety of options to tackle large assembly drawings.For example (kindly refer to the drawing attached)you can hide /simplify small objects (nuts/bolts/rivets etc) from the drawing view using VIEW STYLE. This may help you in faster update of your drawing views and will make it less cluttered.
Also you can keep automatic update of drawing views off by keeping DELAY VIEW UPDATE in the VIEW tab (Darfting Preferences) on. (you can do the update in the last or at some intervals manually) ....that said you can refer to the NX documentation (handling of large assembly drawings is a seperate topic and discussed quite in detail).You may find it good.
All the best.

No patterns in the assembly.
