Presentation (IPN) of multiple similar model states

[Anonymous_Designer]

Hello!

I have multiple model states of an assembly (50+ parts).

These model states are really similar (only a few parts differ).

Is there a way to not have to re-tweak every model state IPN (by re-using a previous IPN for other model states)?

Thanks!

Hi! Unfortunately, that is a limitation. Think of each assembly Model State as a different assembly file. IPN isn't aware of other Model States besides the active one when the IPN was captured.

Many thanks!

Why is this? I'm just starting to learn how to do presentations, and this is the first thing I noticed. When I create a presentation and call in an assembly, it auto-calls in the last active model state of that assembly. Why can't you switch model states in the presentation file?

Hi Jason,

As I mentioned earlier, this is indeed a known limitation. I suspect the way the presentation file treats different model state as a different assembly. Likely the tweaks and any edit to the snapshot or storyboard will have to be redone.

Many thanks!
