HoleMaking IPW shown in assembly.

HoleMaking IPW shown in assembly.

HoleMaking IPW shown in assembly.

(OP)
Say i modeled a piece of tooling, pulled that fixture into my manufacturing setup as an assembly component for visualization.

And also, inside the fixtures .prt file, i made some programs to machine the fixture using holemaking.

Now, inside my manufacturing setup for my actual part, all the holes in the tooling are now filled up with the pink IPW from the holemaking operations, that are inside the fixtures file.


As you can see in the picture, in the base plate, and also the left fixture, it is showing me the holemaking IPW that are inside each components file.

How to turn this off?

Even if i never see holemaking IPW, unless i have the holemaking operation itself open.

RE: HoleMaking IPW shown in assembly.

The In-Process Features are solids created when using new drilling, thread milling, etc. but are usually hidden.
Usually they are only displayed on demand from inside the operation or from the MFN.

Did you unhide all or something like that?
