Not rendering everything in 2d drawing in base and projections

[eddy]

Hi all,

I've got something wierd going on. I'm trying to create a 2d drawing of a assembly. Some Base views and projections doesn't render everything. Does it have anything to do that I use sub assembly's? When i look in the "Drawing View" I have Representation on Master and LOD on Master. Any thoughts.

In Edit View dialog box what happen when you turn on the Tangent Edges option?

Something improved?

When i enable Tangent Edges, no improvements.

Been looking and found that the problem start in this assembly (see attached). When I put this assembly in a 2d drawing, its

only partially rendered. Any ideas?

I haven't looked at your files, but are there any imported parts? (step, iges, etc...)

If there are, are they all imported as full solids or are there any composites?

The composites won't show in a drawing unless you use "include all surfaces" (or something along that line)

[eddy]

No imports, created all the bodys with extrude->new solid. When i put only the "bobine" on a 2d drawing its fine. But as soon as I place it in a assembly and then create a 2d drawing from that assembly it renders wrong.

I hope that somebody can try it on there machine, to see if my computer is causing it or something is wrong with my parts/inventor.

Hi

In assembly environment you have 2 components in BOM as Reference.... so, they will not appear in drawing.

Put them as Normal.

sharp! thanks that worked. Can I ask one last question. I changed those 2 part to reference so that they don't come up in the BOM, when changed to normal they do show. How can I prevent that?

---edit ---

Phantom seems to do the trick.

Choose Phantom.

Help says:

Phantom components have the following characteristics:

• They are ignored by the BOM.
• They are not numbered, and are not directly included in quantity calculations.
• They influence the participation of their children in the BOM by promoting them in Structured BOM views. The children of a Phantom component are treated as siblings to the phantom component siblings, even though from a model structure standpoint, they are not.
• The quantity of their children is multiplied by the quantity of the phantom component.

Parts marked as Reference in an assembly will by default appear as phantom lines in a drawing, and view margins will not take them into account.  But, in the view properties (Edit View), you can change how reference parts appear in the view, and manually change the margin to a larger number to include reference geometry.
