Hi,

I been learning working with Composer (2014 version) and I got a problem regarding Authors display in Technical illustration detail view.

When I am trying to create vector detail view for my assembly, it creates detailed view of model but doesn't display Author. So far I tried using normal 2D text and dimension Authors and both times they weren't copied into detail view. Sometimes I manage to somehow make it show up, but most of the time I have problem with it.

I tried switching off and on again detail view, reopen Composer but it still happens.

My question would be, is there a setting or a way to control this feature so it displays Authors in vectored detail view whenever I want to?

So far it seemed to happen only in Technical illustration detail view.

If I create normal (not detail) Technical illustration, Author is being displayed just fine.

OK, pretty sure I figured out your problem. Look at the view I attached below. The issue at least in this case is what you are dimensioning and its placement. At the head on detail in green the dimension wont be seen since its not in that area. If you rotate your model and create another detail as you can see in the example below the dimension is visible now. So make sure your dimension is in an orientation and place that will be seen in a detail view before creating said detail view. See if this helps you some on dimensions. For author labels I have never had an orientation issue so if you have a file having trouble with these you could attach that as well. I hope this helps some.

See the reply in context

Paulius,

Have you checked other files, closed and reopened the effected file? This is controlled by show collaboration which in your screenshot you have checked so it should be working.

Cheers,

Derek

Yes I have done it on a few different files, and I tried restarting program several times. The thing is, at very beginning it does display Authors inside vector detailed view and later on it stops.

For example project displayed in that picture has a view created before with different Author and whenever I go to that view, it generates detailed view correctly, but if I switch back to my latest view or make another view with new Author from working view, I still get same error.

Though collaboration is a big hint for me, i will try experimenting with it more when I get back to my work place and will tell if anything changes while controlling collaboration showing.

I have gotten many different errors in detail views over the years but this is a first for me on this one. Normally if my detail view errors the whole view is just gone with only the border and an x. Let us know what you find after playing around with the setting a bit more.

So I tried playing more with collaboration showing option also tried few different options but its still the same result so far.

The strangest thing is that I have other view in same file with different text and it is showing up inside detail view with same settings but if I create new view from it with different Author, it doesn't get displayed anymore (in my option the picture that I uploaded in first post).

The more I try figuring it out, the more lost I get in this composer program..

Can you attach your effected file? I can try and have a look at it. If not can you post screenshots of your workflow?

I can't attach that file cause or patented information, though I made another simple project and it has very same problem I was talking about (its attached on this post). I made few views. I added text field in view 4 and it is displayed in technical illustration detail view just fine. Then i created another view (view 6) with dimension on it and dimension is not being shown on detailed view anymore.

I do have dimension working on different file somehow, but I cant control this view thing at all right now it seems.

After several attempts, I suppose its is correct answer to my problem. I was trying to do same detail view on zoomed out view and then it includes Author, but if I zoom in, even if I see it in box, it doesn't get snapped. Well I still cant control it at all, no idea how to snap author to detailed view, but at least I now have idea what is causing the problem.

Thanks for your help regarding this, all thats left to do is figure out how to make this work
