Shared View for Weld Environment (can't do / weld annotations must show up)

[steveh3]

In Inventor 2020.1 and prior, you DO NOT have the ability to create a shared view of a WELDED  Assembly in Inventor.

While you do have the ability to do a Shared View from Vault.

When you perform a shared view from Vault, any annotations created in the weld environment disappear from model. Although you do see annotations created outside the weld environment.

This also applies when you upload model to Fusion Team (so it appears it a limitation of the LMV).

In order for MBD to take a hold or have a future....weld annotations are in integral portion of the adoption of this technology.

This is a screen shot of the Preview of the file in Vault, a dwf and the annotations show up....

This a screen shot of the same file as a Shared View. Weld environment annotations are missing....

Best,

So, tried it in INV 2022...still can't. Tells you to exit environment, but when you switch to the Weld environment, there's no way of turning it off once you commit.

This needs to be fixed so we can do Shared Views from weld environment!!!!

Thanks for this idea, I vote. And I hope it will be as soon as possible. Yesterday was too late. I expect it in the 2025 version.

It is sad and embarrassing that when developing the Shared Views functionality, the programmers did not include Assembly Weldment in a supported environment. I'm sorry, but in this I see the laziness of the programmer to create this. I am outraged.

FYI..

Still broke in 2023.3. Haven't tried 2024 yet.
