Layers and family table?

Jan 09, 2005 1 Replies

I've been trying to solve this problem for a last couple of days, obviously without much of a success... When I "unblank" layer in one of the family table instances - the same layer is also unblanked in all other instances thus providing a crowd of datums in the assembly. Is there a way to somehow put layers in the family table so I could individually blank them only for some of the instances? I can't find such an option in the family table dialog box...



Pls help, Predrag

Turn off 'Propogate Status' in the 'Settings' tab of the Layers panel. Save your instance, which, in reality, saves only the generic. The next time you see your particular instance, it should have the layer on without the same layer in each instance used being turned on.
