Can't make part Primary instance

joshtargojoshtargo Member Posts: 221 EDU

student is trying to edit this part in context

https://cad.onshape.com/documents/f55dc2a917677d4db92be2b3/w/cf17289198f342c412d43aa5/e/9c370473fac5a0aeca01256d

He Inserted it into this assembly

https://cad.onshape.com/documents/f55dc2a917677d4db92be2b3/w/cf17289198f342c412d43aa5/e/301f0b27f8524f1d4175ab93

then selects Edit In Context

But the context banner is blue, and he can't hide context instances.

In the assembly, there is no option to set the part as the Primary Instance

what's going on?

    You have to actually reference the context in the part studio. It won't actually build into a full context until you reference it in a sketch or a feature etc.
