Planes

[iumcad]

I cant seem to get my reference planes that I create to be visible when setting up my assembly template. I set up a part template and they are visible. I dont see anything in the annotations settings option to make these visible. I have annotations displayed checked in my feature manager. Im not even sure why they are visible in my part template, but, thats what I want. Any suggestions?

In the assembly file you want to use as a template, you'll need to right-click each plane in the design tree and choose "Show". The icon for the plane in the design tree will become yellow-filled instead of black-outlined. Then, click View and make sure "Planes" is selected. Then save as an assembly template.

What I might be telling you may be similair to handleman's suggestion...but you may need to check ON 'Display Shaded Planes' under Tools/Options/System Options/Display-Selection. You can change the transparency under Tools/Options/Document Properties/Plane Display. Hope hat helps.
