assembly drawing question
assembly drawing question
(OP)
alright i have an assembly
i have 4 parts in the assembly
in one of my views i want to only show 3 of the 4 parts
how do i go about doing this
im on ug nx
i thought the old way was to expand the view and blank the component u dont want shown. i tried this and it worked but
it also blanked it from all my other views which wont work for me.

As you become more familiar with UG, you will find that there are usually several ways to accomplish the same thing (which can be good or bad, depending on your viewpoint).
RE: assembly drawing question
Use Exploded Assemblies and Hide Component in the view. Even though it says Exploded Assemblies, you don't have to expolde anything, just hide the component.

How will using Visible-In-View mess you up, other than having to regenerate the view? I admit I don't use that method, and prefer to segregate by layer (for more reasons than view visibility), but it would be good to know of the pitfalls. Thanks!

This isn't new. I and others have been complaining to McD, EDS, UGS, and EDS PLM about the lack of a reset command for V-I-V for a long time.

RE: assembly drawing question
I received a couple of fairly complex tooling fixture files this week from one of our vendors; over fifty layers in each, all visible with both assembled fixture and exploded assembly, with no layer catagories. A little foresight on his part would have saved me valuable time differentiating the assemble parts from the exploded parts.
IMO layer control is an important and effective modeling tool. Company modeling standards and a little discipline can go a long way to improving efficiency.
RE: assembly drawing question
i went to assemblies-exploded views
and it lets me select the component in the assembly that i want to take out but still leave it in the other views
and i can create detail views of the seperated parts
thanks guys
RE: assembly drawing question
Had to give you a star for that post. I hadn't thought of using an exploded view like that. Great tip!
