Insert component default ghost - very annoying.....
Insert component default ghost - very annoying.....
(OP)
I was just having to do some pictures for the legal types on a law suit deal. It seems that in SW2004, when you insert an existing component in a assembly it decides on some apparently random part it thinks you want. A complete ghost preview shows up and you then have to browse for what you really want. This is very annoying - specially when the component it latches on to is a very complex subassembly, consuming time to even display it every time you want to select some simple little part!!!!! Is there an easy way to turn this off? BTW: Insert component existing (used to be from file) now takes a whole lot more picks to get there - not exactly a performance or efficiency improvement!

RE: Insert component default ghost - very annoying.....
As for the Insert thing, try using the Insert Components icon from the Assemblies toolbar. Thats one less click, but you still have to click on Browse.

1. Open a new assembly
2. Under options in the Feature manager deselect 'Start command when creating a new assembly' and 'Graphics preview
3.Click ok
4. Close this assembly
5. When you open a new assembly now, it will be like it was in SW2003

RE: Insert component default ghost - very annoying.....
When I goto my System Options Page / Feature Manager ... the only options for me to Check or Uncheck are:
- Scroll selected item into view
- Name feature on creation
- Arrow key navigation
- Dynamic highlight
I can't even find "Start command when creating a new assembly" to uncheck or check ???

RE: Insert component default ghost - very annoying.....
These options arent under Tools > Options like most options. As John mentioned above, they are are part of the 'Insert component' property manager (Insert > Component > Existing Part/Assembly).
