Make dwf/dwfx display the correct solid bodies visibility in View Representation

Make dwf/dwfx display the correct solid bodies visibility in View Representation

In a multi-body part .ipt. The View Representation in the .ipt set the visibility of the solid bodies, some solid are not visible. (picture "1_ViewRep_Inventor.png")

When I create a visualization file .dwf or .dwfx, the View Representation in the dwfx are wrong: they all display all solid (show the invisible solid). (picture "2_ViewRep_DesignReview.png")

The result: the .ipt View Representation remove visibility on some solid. But. in the .dwfx, the same View Representation make visible all solid, this is not correct!

Please make that the View Representation in dwf/dwfx are exactly what is set in the .ipt. Especially the solid bodies visibility.

Agree!! This is super annoying.

 

Currently, I have to create separate model states for some parts and assemblies JUST for the purpose of saving as DWFX, because those are what we'll send to the shop floor for guys to look at.

 

No idea why DWFx files can't use the same View Reps that Inventor does, but this has all but killed DWF usage for us here, since it can take hours of extra work just to hide stuff that should already be hidden.

I'd rather say full support of Multi-Body Parts in DWF(x) with ability to control body visibility is needed.
