Ghosted Component in Drawing View

RANDALLHFQCY — Fri, 11 Apr 2025 16:44:08 GMT

I am encountering a strange issue while creating schematics from a large assembly. A component which is not supposed to be visible in this view shows up partially rendered and without outlines while in Shaded style but disappears in Visible Edges. It is not a major issue but is very annoying, especially since it has reared it's head on the final drawing set of a long term project.

Thank you,

Hi @RANDALLHFQCY

Have you experienced similar rendering issues with other assemblies or components? If not then it might be file specific.

Could you provide the specific dataset or files where this issue is occurring? This will help me analyze the problem more accurately.

Thanks,

Sayali

Hi Sayali,

Only this assembly. However, since updating Fusion this morning, I am no longer experiencing this issue.

Thank you!

I have had a number of issues like this (sometimes the bitmap/raster layer is larger than the vector layer, sometimes smaller or just otherwise misaligned), but I have never been able to reproduce them consistently. Sometimes they haunt me for days at a time and then magically vanish. Sometimes making a new Drawing fixes it, but not always. Sometimes saving a new version of the 3D Design fixes it, but again, not always. Ive tried both clearing cache and reinstalling, but to no avail. When a given document had difficulty, I found that the issue even carried over to my coworker's machine. Usually I just have to work on something else that day and hope it magically fixes itself the next morning. As far as I can tell, some operation happens at some point where the bitmap image is scaled to the bounding box of all objects in a given view, then shaded. My best theory is that this process is somehow using an incorrect selection of components when scaling the image (adding components that are hidden, or omitting components that are plainly supposed to be visible). That said, I dont actually know how it all works under the hood, so perhaps my speculation is just nonsense.

Hi @JoshuaO_

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

We have also received reports regarding issues with shaded view visibility when components being in a suppressed or hidden state. Our team is actively working on resolving these issues. We hope that you will see improvements once these fixes are implemented.

Additionally, if you come across any data that consistently provides incorrect results, please share it with us. We will analyze the data and provide you with a better solution.

Thanks,

Sayali

I am having this same issue on a design prepared by a client. Any updates? I've gone in and removed any extra instances of this component, and cannot get it to go away.
