Making drawings - Parts are enabled to be displayed but not showing in drawing

Hello all-

 

I have a 3D design that I put together of a control cabinet that I am building. I have assembled solid models of all components in the design, laid them out and have them included in the model. The model appears exactly as it should.

When I make a 2D drawing of that model all components displayed in the component tree drop down, and all components that I want displayed are configured to do so. However I have x16 instances of a single part that do not display in the drawing. I have not seen this before and I am unsure how to fix it.

The drawing can be downloaded HERE. The part in question is the weidmuller relay _ 1122770000. There are 16 of them that should appear in the open space on the second rung of din rail, right side.

I understand that I may need to fix this in the solid model. I will share that file to whomever is helping when we get to that point.

 

Thank you in advance for assistance with this oddity.

the 3D models you downloaded might only contain surfaces as opposed solid bodies and surfaces do not show up in drawings. A such there might be some work to stick these surfaces into a solid body in the patch environment.

TrippyLighting is correct, the issue is that xref'd component is not a solid body.  Open that component design and use Stitch:

Then save that design, Get Latest/Save the parent design, then Get Latest in the drawing and you'll see your components:

Thanks,
Chris

Thank you @TrippyLighting @cmiller66 for the solution to this problem. I have not worked in the patch tools much with fusion but the simple clicks worked. Now I am displaying all the components of this drawing. For my next step, wiring diagrams, I would like to see all terminals so that I can put together a good wiring diagram that is based on the 3d model.

 

Many thanks! Have a good weekend.
