Gett PO with this

EVERY TIME I open this assembly the bloody work point and planes are ON. no matter how many time I switch the bloody things off, rebuild all, and save then if I close it then reload the bloody things come right back on, I've gone into the subassembly there off, the part there off BUT in the main assembly there ALWAYS on until I switch them off it BLOODY WELL ANNOYING

Hi! I believe these workplanes were created in a part. You need to open the part and turn off the workplane's visibility in the part. Otherwise, when you make them invisible, it will only apply the workplanes "viewed" within the assembly. When the same part is reused in a different assembly, the workplanes will become visible again.

Many thanks!

In the parts you have to get off the Default View Rep. You can't save to the Default View Rep, it's locked.

When you bring your part into the assembly select the view rep you desire. If you leave the parts on default view they will show. Make sure your Assembly has a view rep as well.

This is not correct! In English, the permanently locked view rep is named Primary; any others can be locked or unlocked. My model templates all have a view rep named Default, and it is the active one by default. But Primary is the always-locked one.

NO rep views in any of the parts or sub assemblies. BUT IF I do create one, once I'm done i delete it for this exact reason and the way there behave when creating an IDW

if you only have the "Primary" you can't save to that view rep, it's locked. I always have another one for this very reason to keep at least one "clean" view rep. I use the primary if I need to have some planes on for whatever reason. Then in the Assembly i just right click and change the view rep to whatever I want at the moment. I'd say you need to open the part files, and either turn them all off, and save or just make a new view rep in the part level activate it, turn off what you don't want. Then go to your first assembly right click on the parts change the view rep to your new clean one. Check the view rep of that assembly, see if there are multiple, because you have to select that view rep when you place that assembly in your top level. Now Save that assembly, then on to your main/top level assembly and make sure the sub assembly is on the "correct" view rep. It's not hard once you understand the hierarchy.

if you don't understand, zip it up and share it we can walk you through it.

Thanks! Have a super awesome day!!

Hi Paul,

Please share the files on a cloud drive of your choice and grant the access to me at johnson.shiue@autodesk.com. I would like to understand the Design View Rep behavior better.

Many thanks!
