Add a Toggle Edit Scope for Design View Representations

Add a Toggle Edit Scope for Design View Representations

I'd like to be able to insert a part to an assembly but only have it show up in the Design View Representations I choose.  The function would be just like that of Model States Toggle. Example, I bring in a new part but only want it to show up in 3 of 10 Design View Representations, then I toggle on or off the ones I want and don't want it to show up in.  As it stands, say you have 25 View Representations in an assembly.  You are using them throughout your detailed drawing (*.idw).  Then you have to add a new part, now it shows up in all the older View Representations and you have to go one by one and turn it off where you don't want it.  I know you can make your Drawing Views Not Associative, but I think there are applications for both.  This would have to be available at the part level also.

 

Thanks!

Testing an Idea I had this morning, I just discovered Inventor already has a solution for this.  It's the "Lock" for the View Representations you create.  This is what I discovered: in an assembly, if you create a design view representation (DVR) named: "View1"  place a few parts and then create another DVR called "View2", lock "View1" and add a few more parts to the assembly, the parts you add will not be included in the Design View Representations that are locked.  This IS exactly what I was after.  Therefore, to the managers of this post, feel free to remove this post from here, and maybe add it to a post in community so perhaps someone else with the need could look it up.

 

Thanks
