I've created a swept part with oodles of user created work planes/point/axii.
I use the View Tab/Object visibility/ and toggle them all off. When I create a new object, the visibility is turned back on, so all these things are visible again. Is there a way to tell IV that when I turn the visibility off, it stays off?
I've created a View, called Hidden, and made sure that the visibility of those three is all off. Yet, when the part is in an assembly, several random planes/points/axii are visible. The master is usually selected for the part whenever it appears in an assembly, but if I change it to hidden, these things are still visible. Also, if I chose "Hidden" for the view in my assembly, I must also click "associative," or the part remains in the Master view. Regardless of which view is selected, they look the same.
I can manually turn the visibility off in whatever assembly I drop the part in, but that is tedious, and I have to do it for anyassembly the part is in. So, if I put the part in A.iam, then put A.iam in B,iam, I have to manually turn off the visibility for all of the user created stuff in both for the part in question.
Thoughts/suggestions?
As an added note, if I turn off visisbility on an axis, point, etc fomr this part while it is in an assembly, I have to remvoe associativity. The part goes back to the master view, the objects are no longer visible. When I change it back to "Hidden," they appear again, even though the user ccreated stuff is all not visible in the part while in the "Hidden" view.
& one other note. While the Object visibility is turend off in the visibility tab for the part, if i right click the feature in the tree, visibility is still checked, even though I can't see it. If the axis is visibile in an assembly, and I turn of the visibility from the tree rather than the View menu, it will no longer be visible if the part is using the "hidden" view.
Hi, Eveylynne!
This is an old thread, but i hope i can help you anyways.
If you want this issue to never appear again, you need to go to the lowest level the planes / axis are visible (typically in part level)
and check out, turn off visibility, check in.
Also, the object visibility tab under the View ribbon only controls visibility in the active document; if you put that part in a sub-assembly, the options you had selected in the Object Visibility tab won't apply.
The best 2 ways are:
1. Select the object in the browser and control visibility there
2. Select the View Rep in the object browser, right click and select all visible/all hidden and change individual browser nodes from there.
