Viewer does not take View Reps into Account (Always Master View Rep)

Viewer does not take View Reps into Account (Always Master View Rep)

Gang...we use View Reps quite often in assemblies and with advent of something that might be called Model States or the like, the Viewer must take this into account. Presently, it doesn't. It appears that it only recognizes the Master View Rep.

Users need the the ability to flip between View Reps and/or Model States to get accurate models.

The future of MBD will also rely heavily on this capability.

Please watch the video to show you what we are experiencing.

This is a popular request coming from the production floor.

Here's the justification....

 

We typically have two View Reps the guys on the floor they would like to view (Default – what the finished component should look like and Welds Highlighted – turns all components to a white and welds to a magenta so that they pop)

Here's Inventors Default View...

Here's the Hi-Lited View Rep which is what production would like to see...

This is what the Mobile App shows (which the this actual View Rep doesn't even exist in Inventor assembly)...

This is our work around.....

Since I posted this idea....have discovered some additional information (provided by Vault team).

 

In administration....there are some settings that are off by default.

ThickClient / Tools / Administration / Vault Settings / Visuallization / Options...

 

There are some settings that must be turned on so that they are published when the dwf is created.

Keep in mind each version of Inventor is independent (Why? I don't know but it is what it is) along with 2D vs 3D publishing.

Also, keep in mind that these settings only apply going forward on any dwf that is created.

 

You can verify that the views are being created using the old Design Review to view the dwf, but unfortunately the new Autodesk Viewer does not have this capability.

This was confirmed by an Vault product manager right before I posted.

Please plead your case in all the discussion groups to up the priority for the Vault/Inventor teams.

 

In order for MBD to take hold....this feature has to be in the new Autodesk Viewer.

Hello Steve,

Thanks for the answer. I test it an we have all views in the dwf file.
I hope the new Viewer can do this in the next Version.
