view representation & new parts

[CAD-One]

Not sure If I am doing this right. In an assembly, I have 10 + design view reps. At this point, when I add couple of new parts to assembly. Is there a way for not to showup these 2 new parts in all the view reps automatically. I dont want to go into each of the view reps & hide these 2 new parts.

Is there a way to do this?

Hi,

To prevent new parts inserted into an assembly from showing up in a ViewRep, right click the ViewRep(s) in the browser and select Lock. If you have already inserted the parts, you will have to modify each viewrep. It may be faster to delete, lock, and re-insert.

I hope that helps.

Best Regards,

Actually today I noticed something different.

say....

My assy has 10  view reps

In my drawing 10 different views (1 view per view rep).

In assy I add 2 new parts and create 2 more view reps.

now all the 12 view reps are perfectly fine in the assy file.

But, in drawing, all the 10 (I havent created 2 new views for new view reps yet) shows the newly added parts.

I am wondering, while the view rep is looking good in assy, why dont the drawing view.

For now I have a weird solution, but looking for a better solution.

I go to view edit dialog for each view, tempororily switch to a different view rep & switch back to the original view rep.

This time the view shows up matching to the viewrep perfectly.

I suspect that your drawing views do not have the associative check box checked. see attached
