https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/editing-part-in-assembly-part-disappears-from-browser/m-p/5714990#M368876 <P>The one of the reasons I don't do this in inventor is because of how many extra things end up being on my screen when I have a part opened inside of an assembly. I go to make a sketch and its grabbing all sorts of stuff that I don't want involved with the features inside the part. I also have a lot of parts that get reused, and actually I'm not sure, when you start a new part within the context of an assembly, is it's origins relative to the assembly origin, or is it entirely independent of the assemblies origin.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Now using a program like solid edge, I have no problem creating and editing parts within the context of an assembly. Inventor makes it so **** difficult to see things when youre in an assembly. Every time I want to just make something disappear so I can see past it, it wants me to either remove associativity or modify a design view representation(which I really don't know what that even means really), when I should be able to just make it visibile or invisible without any modifications to any files being necessary whatsoever. And I should be able to have an assembly open, go into a part and hide the previous levels of assemblies so I don't have to deal with all the dang lines from the other components in the assembly. Also should be able to dimension to&nbsp; quadrants, shouldn't have to project any geometry from&nbsp; edges in a part just to dimension&nbsp; from them, and shouldn't have to place a point at the midpoint of anything to dimension to the midpoint. Also, there should be a normal cutout.</P> Fri, 10 Jul 2015 18:42:46 GMT Anonymous 2015-07-10T18:42:46Z
