Sheetmetal from Solid
Sheetmetal from Solid
(OP)
Hello all,
I have a question. When working with NX Sheetmetal al use the feature "sheet metal from solid" a lot.
Now the question is when I use this feature en can make a sheetmetal part from a solid. but when I place the sheetmetal part in a assembly i Always see the solid.
This is also in drafting.
I don't want to have a seperate part for the solid.
How is het possible to hide te solid so it can't be see on de drawing?
Greats
Ruud

I have found already a work around that's possible.
Whit a reference set i can control if i want to see solid or not i a drafting or assembly.
If you have better ideas the are always welcome.

That's a great way to do it, because that is what reference sets are for!

So, in your case, I would place sheet metal body on a Layer1 and solid body on a layer2.
When in drawing, I would select Layers Visible in View command. Then, I would select, which layers I want to show and which to hide in let's say top view and which in isometric view, etc.
