Assembly isn't displaying part Work features (planes, axis, or points)

[jordan_whitson]

I have a part in which I created planes, axis, and points on but they aren't there when I add the part to an assembly. All the boxes are checked in the Object Visibility drop down in the View tab, so it's not that they aren't visible. They also don't appear in the model tree so it's not like they are disabled there. This has been happening since I started using Inventor. I don't know if it's a setting but I can figure out the cause. Any Suggestions?

Hi,

Try selecting [Primary] option under the Representations folder in the model browser.

EDIT:

This option might have also been enabled: 

Turn it off, and see if that reveals the work features in your model browser.

While in the assembly context, you should be able to expand the placed part’s tree and individually select origin and user work planes, etc. to turn them on manually. See if that helps.

If nothing else, post the part and an assembly containing it here, and let us know what version of Inventor you're using.  There should be a logical explanation for what you're seeing (or not seeing).
