If I understand what you want, you can go to the properties of the view(s) and under the dress-up section select the option '3D colors'. That will make the parts in the view match the color that they are in the model.
Personally I don't use it enough to know what the differences are, but after a quick search here's what I found: Scenes
A description of the two from the above link:
Overload Mode Partial: The scene will only overload attributes for a few products and modifications to the main assembly of...
Travis,
After looking into this, I've discovered that when I was creating the enhanced scenes I was using the 'Partial' option under the Overload Mode (this was the default) - even though I use everything in the assembly, it's just the option I chose when I created the scene. When adding a new...
I can help with some of this.
For item 1, I've attached a screen shot of the dialog box that comes up if you right click on the section callout and select properties. To get the line to not over run, choose the highlighted option for Position by anchor point that says start - versus middle...
John,
I will add my notes on this as well.
In regard to scenes: I have used these and would just mention that when I added a new detail I WAS able to include it in an existing scene (it was mentioned that a new scene would need to be created). Edit the scene you need the new item in and...
If parts are shifting around after applying the constraints, it sounds to me as though some of the constraints are incorrect. If the parts are in the correct position when loading the file, I would personally delete any assembly constraints to start with so the parts won't move due to the...
We don't have any law function or f(og) in the package we use at work - that's why I'm trying to see if there is a way to express that as a formula instead. What I'm trying to use the law for is to create a flexible tube as shown in the following old thread...
Does anyone know if there is a way to mathematically express a law for use in a function? I recently discovered that our company doesn't have this option in the package we have. I'm thinking I can create a formula to simulate a law - if only I knew how.
"List of Layers" shows up when you select the 'Layer' function in V4, option 'Layer', and sub-option 'Analyze'. In the top right corner of the screen that comes up, there are options for 'All', 'Used', and 'Unused'. If only some of the layers are showing, the option 'Used' or 'Unused' is...
dwoody1,
The files I've been using haven't been very big - less than 10 meg, typically around 2 meg or so - and there aren't any faces or surfaces, strictly solids. As for the F4 function, I must admit complete ignorance as to what this is, I'm thinking it may be a module we don't have - can...
Recently while working in V4, I was creating views from a 3D model. Creating one view is no problem, when I create a second view, I cannot see all the entities in the view. If I delete the first view, everything shows up in the second view I created. Is this just a graphics card issue with not...
Is there an efficient and quick way to create bodylines for views - not just the lines, but also the balloons and text? The only way I've found so far is to create a grid in another drawing as a template - complete with balloons and text, copy and paste it into the view I created in the active...
