Assembly's Parts Unpickable in Drawing

Apr 30, 2006 1 Replies

Have any of you experienced this:



I have an assembly (of about 30 parts) that has several configurations. Most configurations contain exploded views.



I created a multi-sheet drawing. Each page of that drawing contains a different configuration of said assembly, and most contain the views in an exploded state.



In a typical view, I cannot select edges of the exploded parts. The only way I can is to open the assembly, activate the configuration that's in the drawing view, and explode the assembly. Then, all edges are available for picking as normal.



I can't imagine that this is normal behavior. Do any of you know anything about this? I'd appreciate the help.



Thanks,



Brian


This has been a problem for a while with SW. Since 2003 as far as I know. I saw your topic title, and was ready to tell you to, Open the assembly and activate that config, then go back to the drawing. Looks like you already figured that one out. Hope someone else has a better solution!
