Hello. I have a situation where the assembly (282' in diameter) when placed in the drawing shows up as a black blob. I need to remove some detail from some of the components (stair tread) to enable good visibility in the drawing. The part that needs simplification has bodies that can be made invisible using the view states. However, the rub is that in the assembly I can create a Level of Detail "For Drawing" and "Default" but I can't set the view state of the stair tread to be different in each view state. It is frustrating trying to make this work when it is so easy in SolidWorks. So I have a modified stair tread in the assembly that provides a clear view in the drawing but is not sufficient for the assembly model which needs the complete stair tread. So I am to the point where I am going to have to save the assemblies off as new assemblies so I can have one with the modified tread and one with the complete tread. The little I have messed around with iParts and iFactories leads me to believe this may be the way to go, however this created too many additional parts and assemblies that have to be added to the Adept vault.
Any insight or ideas to get around this would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.
