Rendered DWG view & Hiding Parts

Rendered DWG view & Hiding Parts

Rendered DWG view & Hiding Parts

(OP)
After a quick search I haven't found anything on this issue.

Basically I have an exploded assembly in a drawing. I want to hide some parts and subassemblies.  While the drawing is in wire frame everything works as expected - ie right mouse click in the FM and "hide/show" components.

When I toggle render to on, the assemblies / parts appear that were hidden.  Though in the FM they still appear to be hidden.

Anyone come accross this problem? Using SW2001+, SP6.0

Thanks

Dave

RE: Rendered DWG view & Hiding Parts

I haven't experienced this, but I suspect your video card/card drivers.

Try supressing components in your assy within Configurations.  See if that fixes things for some reason.

RE: Rendered DWG view & Hiding Parts

For what its worth, Ive seen a similar 'functionality' in the e-Drawings. Assembly components hidden in the assemblyDoc appear in the 'rendered' version of a view in the e-Drawing.

Hi there,

Yeah could be graphics card issue.  

In the meantime the workaround is to simply suppress each part individually in the FM and/or in the actual drawing by right clicking on each component - a bit tedious but got the result
