Hi,
Problem description:

Other PMI made manualy are shown (PMI Assembly Filters).
In master model (drafting module), PMI made from sketch and PMI made manualy are visible.
This problem occurs only in parent item. In master model everything is ok.

I don't understand you answer because it was not possible to add PMI on the Ref Set Model. I have opened a call on GTAC for that.
I use the following process:
Use Reference Set "Entire Part"
then
the sketch should be visible in the master model !!!

"reference set" solved the problem.
RE: PMI visibility in drafting
You should say reference set "entire part" solved the problem
Ins't it ?

You have to select them in the "entire part" reference set.
That will do the job.

Thanks in advance to post an image of your setting

Selected PMI dimensions (100, 50) are made from sketch.
I've added reference set (Model ("FP")), because i'm using it in drafting.
RE: PMI visibility in drafting
OK, but your example is so simple
In fact, you don't add only PMI to your ref set because they are not selectable. You are obliged to select the whole sketch
I found a trick to blank the sketch in drafting and what about you ?

Firs make sure your component is fully loaded (If you open drawing file directly. If you open model and then drawing it will be loaded)
Then when you place view, go to view settings and find PMI tab. In PMI tab click on drop down menu and select From Model View. This should be enough to see PMI that you get in that view without need to use ref.sets.

I don't agree with you
I know this process, but I you don't use Entire Part, you will have the following message:

Could you send a screenshot to explain where you do this settings ?

Then drawing looks like this
But if you remove one solid body from model reference set
Then you get that error message (either on update or in your case on view placeing)
So go to reference sets in your model, and make sure that all objects that have PMI conneted to them are in model reference set.
After thinking a little, I think that you have sketch that is stand alone, so it does not make body, but it have PMI connected to it (bodies are by default set in Model refeernce set, but sketches are not). You should add that sketch to Model reference set, so you do not have to use Entire Part.

RE: PMI visibility in drafting
You are right, I am taking about standalone sketch. And in this case I know the process and I should use ref set or entire part.
But I am obliged to hide the sketch in the Master model to avoid see it in the drafting :( Other idea ?
