Detailed representations

[Anonymous]

Good morning my problem that I can not solve on the

detailed representations.

Working with many detail representations minimum 6 maximum 20.

When a trade component is sent to me

even if I choose the detail representation in which to insert it

he inserts it also in the other detailed representations

Forcing me each time to reopen all other detail representations and to suppress it and saving I have to be careful to answer no to the question whether I want to save the mass only of the detail representation.

This inconvenience makes me waste a lot of time.

I hope I have managed to explain myself well.

Best regards Sansottera Francesco

Level of Detail Representations are not meant to manage configurations like I think you're trying to do. Instead, use View Representations. Once you're done with your view representation, lock it (right click > lock). Then place your component in another view representation and your new component will remain invisible in the locked view rep.

What @SometimesInventorMakesMeAngry is saying is perfectly correct, LODs are not meant for this, but still if you are using LODs and you want to get rid of clicking "NO" in the dialogue box when it asks you for mass, I think you can see below link, which automatically captures mass of all level of detail representations and add in custom properties.

Another thing  I would suggest is to create View representations of the components you can copy the level of details to view reps and vice versa, Once you are in the specific View rep, you can try change the BOM Structure of invisible components and that will give you correct mass, in any case. If you want to change the BOM Strucuture of invisible components through iLogic code, try the below code and see if it helps.

Dim oDef As AssemblyComponentDefinition = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition
 
For Each oOcc As ComponentOccurrence In oDef.Occurrences
	If oOcc.Visible = True Then
		oOcc.BOMStructure = BOMStructureEnum.kDefaultBOMStructure
	Else
		oOcc.BOMStructure = BOMStructureEnum.kReferenceBOMStructure
	End If
Next

Hope this will be helpful.
