Exclude Parts from Drwaing(s)?

martin_kopplow

Do we have a way of excluding certain parts from Drawings? I just happen to have parts I need, but not on drawings. I could make another assembly with/without these, but if parts could be excluded from drawings just like from BOMs, that would pretty much awesome.

You can choose to do it on the drawing if isn't too many little parts?

Right click drawing view and show/hide parts

Hey @martin_kopplow,

The Display state functionality in the Assembly should do what you are looking for. This way you can create a Display state with the parts hidden that you don't want on your drawing. On your drawing you can then select that display state for your reference view.

Hope this helps. Cheers

Ah! Thanks a lot. I completely forgot about diplay states being available in drawings and search in the help/learning section didn't reveal it either. Both these methods work on a per view basis, with display states, it being a kind of preset, appearing a bit more manageable, while sow/hide parts is quicker on an individual view. In my current case I now made a with / without assembly fixture drawing state and that pretty much does it, even if I have to activate it for every view. I just made a second sheet with the other state and hope this way it'll only need to be set one time and can be controlled from the assy when modifications need to be made.
