Hide datum axes in drafting

Hide datum axes in drafting

Hide datum axes in drafting

(OP)
Hi all,

I have a drawing to be created in NX 9.0.3.4 . The assembly parts are in catia 3d models. When I try to create drawing of the same, the axes of individual parts show up. Is there any way to hide them. I tried hiding all datums in 3d assembly but no results.

Thank you all

RE: Hide datum axes in drafting

Are you doing drafting in same part file? Then please move all the datums into one layer by Format>>Move To Layer.
Then in drafting, go to Format>>Layer Visible in View then make that layer in-visible in the views.

If you are making drafting file as an assembly file, then you can control the display content using Reference Sets of child part also.

I am creating the drawing as a separate part number(According to company standard).
Could you elaborate on second solution. I didnt get you..

Thanks

Hi Shettyp,
If you are working in part model,
After importing catia geometry to your UG then move unwanted entities to another layer and make it hide. so you wont get in drawing until unless you turn on layers visible in view.


If your working in Assembly,
Create reference sets in part model (Format -> reference seta--> add reference set) with required geometry. then change reference set in assembly for each part model as you specified in part model. It will show only reference set geometry in assembly. there you go
