View dependent partslist
(OP)
Is there a way to make a partslist display only the parts that are shown in a drawing view? I have made an exploded view of some (not all) components of an assembly. However all the components show up in the partslist when I make one. I just want the partslist to display only the parts that are visible in the drawing view...

Now if you're running an older version of NX, this still works, just that you'll need to explicitly create whichever of these Attributes you need by going to the Assembly navigator in your Drawing file and adding it wherever you wish, just make sure that you give it a value of 'Yes' before hitting OK.

But I guess the "best practice" is to have only one partslist per drawing?

I have saved the file after making the hide/show changes to the exploded views, before switching back to the drawing. Have I forgotten something? Do I have to save the changes to the exploded views in a seperate way or is there some setting that overrules the hide/show status of the exploded views?
Thanks in advance...

This works, but nevertheless I'm a bit confused. What should be the correct workflow here? Apparently the hide/show status in the modelling view does not affect what is being displayed in the drafting view?
