Hide components on a drawing

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am creating a drawing from an assembly and even if I have hidden some components on the assembly they still appear on the drawing. Does anyone know why?

Thanks

When you create the drawing you need to unselect Full Assembly then pick the components you need. I don't know if you can change the drawing after creation.

Hi Mark,

We don't (yet) support editing the components in a view once it's created, but it's on the roadmap.  Another option for creating drawings of select component(s) is to select them in the browser then right-click > Create new drawing, basically skipping the uncheck Full Assembly step.

Thanks,
Chris

Note - This only works for components. It does not work for bodies. Bodies have to be converted to components before you can individually select them.

If you are going to work with assemblies you should be making components first. The workflow should be New Component - sketch - body - features - finished body, then make and activate a new component for the next part. If you use Make components from bodies you will end up with a design that's hard to maintain and edit. Joints\Assemblies and drawing only work with components.
