thread561-362266: Hiding Datums and Model Sketches in Drafting (NX 8.5)
I am having the same issue as described at the beginning of the thread above. I am trying to create a simple draft view of the outside of an assembly model, but it shows all kinds of strange items from the inside of the assembly. I believe these items are from sketches in parts somewhere down in the part tree. I cannot get them off of the drawing. I attempted to create a 'reference set' (both in the draft view and in the modeling view) to display just the outline of the assembly in question. While creating the new reference set, just the outer lines of the assembly were selected - the undesired items were left un-selected. But, after creating the new reference set, I could not set is as the current reference set.
I have tried to many other ways to get rid of these unwanted items, but I haven't had any success. Any suggestions? Am I doing something wrong?

Are you using the master model method (model is a component in the drawing file)? It is currently considered a best practice to do so.

I tried what you recommended, but when I go to File -> Options -> Assembly Load Options, I only have the choice of "part versions" or "scope" panels. I do not see the "Load Behavior," "Reference Sets," "Bookmark Restore Options," or "Save Load Options" panels.
I'm not sure if this makes a difference, but I have role set to "Advanced, Full Menus"
ewh & SDETERS,
Is there a quick way to add all the individual parts in an assembly to the model reference set? I am working with a large assembly file (100's of parts) that was created previously by someone else.

Setting your load options like Cowski mention is the more robust way of doing things. Are you using teamcenter?
