Associative Box not working
Associative Box not working
(OP)
I am using Inventor 2014. When I am in some drawings, and I choose to Edit View, then go to Component Tab, under Representation, there is a box that can be checked for "Associative". Even when I start off using the base view, I cannot check this box. It is greyed out for all views.
Is there a setting in the actual part file that I need to check in order to make the part in the drawing file Associative?
Thanks

Frankly, I have no idea what you would use this button for, though. What are you trying to accomplish?

You will need to use the default or another unlocked view rep.
The associative check box is a "workaround" to control individual part visibility in the idw without having to create an assembly level view rep. In general Inventor wants you to control visibility states via view reps but allows "overrides" by unchecking that assoc box.
