How to convert part to Standard part

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone,

I would like to convert a normal part to a standard part (like the library files) so that when they are represented and cut in a drawing they remain as a solid, without being cut, as happens with the parts that are inserted from the content centre.

The parts that I want to convert are screws that I have taken from the content centre but I have designed them in a file with iPart so that it is easier to insert them and also have our company code.

Thanks.

I think you are looking for following checkbox: Document Settings > Modeling > "Participate in Assembly and Drawing Sections'

You can control section view participation in Document Settings..Modeling tab or right in the drawing itself via the right click menu on a part by part basis. 

I'm really not sure what "Normal" vs" Standard" means to you.. Do you mean "normal" vs "content center" parts? A "library" part is simply a normal part saved in a designated library folder that prevents you from modifying it without permissions to write to that library location. 

You can easily "Save Copy As" parts from the content center into a non-library or library folder to remove them from content center and use them just like "normal/standard?" parts.. Just save them in an appropriate folder.

Thanks for your reply but this is not working.

I checked it in another parts in which this option was selected but they are also cut in the drawing.

Standard means the parts which are in the concent center, like screws or nuts, for example.

"You can easily "Save Copy As" parts from the content center into a non-library or library folder to remove them from content center and use them just like "normal/standard?" parts.. Just save them in an appropriate folder."

This is what I did. I saved as the screw and created an iPart with all the types we use.

But when I place it in a drawing and cut it, it does, when a Standard part taken from the centre of content does not.

I only saved as the screw and created an iPart, that's why I don't understand why inventor is using it like a Normal part (designed by me).

Hope you understand my unquiry better.

Many thanks.

Did you test it in the master iPart and/or in the child part?

I modified the master part as you showed me, and then I deleted and generated all the files again.

I replaced it in the assembly, placing the master and selecting the child.

Then I reaplaced the assembly in the drawing and doesn't works.

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong 😞

Thanks @tyas.swinnen

Hi! Maybe in the drawing view, the components are set to be cut. Go to Tools -> App Options -> Drawing -> Section Standard Parts. Set it to "Never."

For existing sectioned views, you will need to right-click on the component nodes under the view node in the browser -> Section Participation -> change it accordingly.

Many thanks!
