I have an assembly with multiple parts living inside it. (none of the parts are saved externally, and would like to keep that way if possible). I'm now trying to detail out some of the parts individually, and would like to pull each one out and dimension/detail it out. Is this possible w/out going through too much trouble and creating separate configs, etc etc..
Thank you in advance,
Dan
Sorry you can create drawings for virtual or internally saved components directly. So you either need to save them externally Or create configuration/display state in assembly.
Hi Dan,
When you create a drawing view of an assembly you should get he option for 'components to exclude'. If you don't you can access this through the drawing view properties.
Providing there aren't hundreds of parts in the assembly this may work for you.

Thank you. I will have to test this out as well. I actually saved the parts separate since there weren't many; but I'll take a look next time I run into this.

I believe that option you mean is hiding the components OR are you referring to section views options?
I mean detailing out individual components, parts, that live inside the assembly. The Drawing itself is of the assembly, but would like to pull parts out from there. (w/out having them saved externally, or separate configs )
As stated earlier this is current limitation since drawings need a model. So your best option is either configuration or display states.
In case you have to make only one drawing and only one time, then you can hide the other components in the drawing view.
Oh you are right Deepak. The option I meant was hide/show components in the view properties.
