How can I use "Overlay" (command from Inventor) in View?

How can I use "Overlay" (command from Inventor) in View?

(OP)
Hi everyone!

I've been working at assembly component with cylinders and it's necessary to show this ones on drawing.
When I was working on Inventor, it's just to use Overlay command, but now I'm using NX8 and I couldn't find this way.

So, someone can give me a help? I want show One view with overlay of cylinders.

Thanks in advance.

That sounds something like using 'Layers' and 'Visible in View'.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

You might need to throw in 'Render Sets' as well.

Enter overlay in your command finder and see if those two things apply to what you need here

Hello mleitefilho89! What you need is pretty possible to do, that's for sure.
What version of NX are you running?

RE: How can I use "Overlay" (command from Inventor) in View?

You can control visibility of items in drafting view using Format>>Layer Visible in View

Otherwise use Reference sets.

If it is a component in assembly, then try using Hide/Show Components in View
