Create spacer so it wont be shown on screen
Create spacer so it wont be shown on screen
(OP)
Im working in prt. mode presently.
Imagine a solid protrusion(blue part in diagram), eg 70 length 15 dia with some patterned cuts around the edge (depth 5mm) in the top. In these cuts are positioned wires which extrude about 40mm(datum curves in diagram)
I want to be able to control these wires by putting eg a spacer (pink part in diagram) through the top of the wire, from here i can control height from the solid and location of the wires in space.
But..........
I want to create this spacer so it wont be shown on screen, but will still contain many refrence points and relations that i can still work from?
for image please see:

I've done some nifty wire routing by creating points which are soley referenced off from datum planes. These datum planes then can be adjusted (offset distances) and drags the points or features tied in with them.

create a "component display" via VIEW/MODEL SETUP/COMPONENT DISPLAY.
This allows you to blank or phantom any part and save that display.
This was #VIEW;#COSMETIC;#COMP DISPLAY;#SET CURRENT;
