there is a difference when handling "user defined workplanes" and "origin work planes". It is not possible to change the visibility of a origin work plane only in the occurrence level. Modifying the "origin work plane proxie" always changes the parent document. whereas a "user defined work plane" can be shown only in a occurrence level.
Please check the sample code below. Select a component (with a user defined work plane) in a assembly document. When the code is executed work planes (1-3) are shown in all occurrences, but the following work planes (4-...) are visible only in the selected occurrence, as desired.
Is there a work around to change the visibility of a origin work plane only at an occurrence?
I'm using Autodesk Inventor 2019
