I have what is to me a rather large assembly. 1823 total occurrences in the active document and 700 open documents in the session.
My problem is that when I open the assembly nothing shows up on the monitor in the image area. The tree is fully populated an showing visibility on all the parts.
I have tried saving as a different level of visibility and still no go.
Any ideas would be helpful.
Sorry if this sounds like an insulting question, but did you press your "Home" or F6 keys to recenter the assembly in the window?

At this point there are no insulting questions.
Yes I did try centering and view all.
Hmmm,... try rebuild all? What version of IV is this?
Can you post a screen shot with the model tree in it?

Rebuild didn't make any change in the view. When I picked it it appeared to be working but again no change in the display.
Attached is the screen shot.
Thanks for the help.
I'm afraid I have no clues, then. have you shut down and restarted? Might be you have a memory leak, and just need to clear things out.
Sorry I don't know more.

Hi richweiss1513,
You didn't mention the version of Inventor you're using, but I seem to recall this as a bug in a past version (Inventor 2011 maybe). I think the solution was to activate the Master View Representation, and it would bring back the missing components.
You might also look into installing the latest service packs if you've not done so.
I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
Curtis

My version is 2012. I have had some suggestions but none have worked so far. Still searching.
Rich
I notice in the browser that one of your parts is a surface body.
Another shot in the dark -
Delete that and any other suface bodies or imported parts.
Try changing back and forth between View Reps (post screen shot of your View Reps).
(did you check on other assemblies and they work as expected?)
Stephen,
In the view where nothing is visible, "find in window ' is not available. Hummm....
Hi richweiss1513,
Does setting Inventor to use Software Graphics do anything?

What happens if you double click on the locked Master view rep?
What happens if you open another assembly?
When I click on the Master view I do get a display but it is not one I save in a Level of Detail.
I can open different assemblies with no apparent problems.
Sorry but I'm not sure if I know how to make a sketch in an assembly without picking a surface to put the sketch on. Could you describe how to do it?
thanks
Rich

Uhmm, did you lock that user created View Rep after creation?
Sounds to me like it somehow got saved in a different state.Can't you create a new one while in Master View and move on? (be sure to lock it once you have it set up)
