Don't know to use Level of Detail representations

[Karol-Or]

In a weldment assembly i made a new level of detail, made it current and started to suppress machining features, but when i make the master level of detail current again those features remain suppressed, there is no influence by the new LOD i made.

When i unsuppress the features, they become unsuppressed also in the new LOD

Hi!

Create the LOD

Save the assembly

Then change to Master again.

I did it, i made the new LOD active, suppressed a feature, saved and made the Master LOD active again.

The feature remains suppressed

I think this might be because they are "features", LoD works with parts.
There is no option for level of detail in ipt's either.

Does it work when you try using visibility options with a view respresentation?

[Karol-Or]

No, the same.

I guess i will have to make an iPart.

I want to exclude features for a drawing.

Am i right?

I'm not sure if iPart/iAssembly will give you more control over weld feature visibility, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do it with view reps/LoD's, so it's worth a shot.

This might be something to put on the IdeaStation as a feature request for the future.

I am making an iAssembly, but one feature i don't succed in excluding, it's Extrusion 18.

I mark it as excluded in the second member of the table, but then an error message comes and this feature isn't excluded.

Why, and where to post this question, with the files, here or on a new post with a different subject?

You could post it here, but i think making a new topic with a better subject might be better.
Something along the line of "Excluding Weld features in iAssembly?"

I don't have a lot of experience with iAssemblies, only ever made few, and never tried them with weldments.
So i could only try to figure out stuff just like you are doing right now.

anks, anyway helped decide on the right path
