I love view representations NOT!

[JimSteinmeyer]

Ok I am struggling with this again. Some how when my assembly was made I had several work planes visable on several subassemblies. No big deal, I will just go to the subassemblies, turn them off and save them and all will be fixed right? Wrong, the assembly still opens with the work planes showing. So I expand the subassemblies and turn the visability off in the top level assembly. Now when I attempt to save the assembly I am told that the master view is locked and I need to create a new view. But I don't ever want all the work planes on and I don't want to create a new view because that leads to not being able to save a linked assembly or drawing if the wrong thing is open somewhere.

How do I unlock the master view to be able to save it with the planes turned off?

Thank you

To all interested parties !

Problems arising from improper settings of the Design Representation Views can be resolved by:

Open Inventor - Tools - Applications Options - File - "file open Options" box and Click on it.

Now under the Assembly Tab: Set as this:

Design View Representation Settings.

Associativity = ON

Mode = Last Active

Level of Detail Representation:

Mode = last Active.

Apply and Save !!

Hope it helps !

Jim,

Just curious how yours was set before you changed it there.

Hi Kirk ! Seems my 2013 version was set to Master for both: Design view rep. and for LOD's With associativity set to off. This was the prime reason that my assy. and sub-assey. Were always opening in master mode and with all work features displayed. Now I design with Default V.R. active and un locked for saving purposes then I can lock it when I am happy with the end results. So each time I open an assy. it opens in the "last open" or it could also be set to "Default" and my work features stay suppressed Until I need to see and use them. Hope this helps !
