Is there a way I can use the isolate command in multibody part?
Sometimes the imported data I am getting from our customers are multibody parts, and I would like to work on certain bodies while hiding others the way I would use the Isolate command.
Is there another way to achieve this same result for these situations?
Thanks,
Mark
Yeah , use isolate
I wish I could. It doesn't work on the Multibody part.
Hi,
it works well at my site:
Here is my Multibody Part which I have open by itself, not editing in an assembly.
Here I chose the Solidbody, right click and select the Isolate command.
Here is the result.
No change is happening.
Since it is working for you guys, then I suspect there is an issue with the model preventing me from doing that.
I will try on some other parts to see if its a setting issue, or just a bad part geometry issue.
Thanks for your help guys.

so it's not that u can't/don't have ISOLATE command, it's that it doesn't work properly.
What about your graphic card/drivers etc?
I would try force rebuild also (CTRL+Q)
I did try that as well. and ran the Import diagnostics to check for any errors, and nothing shows there.
I use the Isolate command countless times a day, but never have on a Multibody part. So when it wasn't working, I just assumed it just didn't work on Multibody parts, so thats why the question. I didnt really even think that it could just be an issue with the file itself.
I am all up to date on all drivers. I dont really experience many other issues at all. just the standard Solidqwerks.
it can also be used in cut lists - folders and separate bodies too..
cant take screenshoot WITH right click menu:(
I use Greenshot" for taking and editing screenshots. With mouse cursor and context menues as well. And it's free of charge!
If you use windows snipping tool you can take a screenshot with delay for few seconds , so you have some time to right click.
Sorry for off topic .
I've usually was able to have right click just this way but other way round, so right click and qucikly win+shift+s
but on this occasion it didnt work;/
What about selecting some bodies, invert the selection and then hide these...?!
You also can work with selection sets, wich can be saved.
Show hidden bodies can be used to bring them back on the screen.
Display states may help also.
And don't forget: Use TAB to hide a body an Shift+TAB to unhide it again.
Selecting bodies, invert the selection and then hide these doesn't work in this file,
but using the Tab and Shift Tab is working and making some display states along side this is a nice work around here.
That is working fine. Its longer for sure, but It will do the trick for this part.
Thanks Heiko
I just created another Mulitbody part, and the Isolate command works perfectly in that file, so the current issue I am having must be due to the Part file itself.
Thanks for all the great suggestions everyone. I appreciate you working though it with me.
