Hi,
I am trying to make an A3 drawing of an assembly showing different sides of the assembly. And also showing different parts in the assembly.
As soon as I import another view with different parts showing the other view changes so that the same parts as the new view are also visible in the old view. How can I make the parts defined in the old view stay in the drawing and aslo get the new view with other parts visible?

I do the same thing all the time in my assemblies. What I do is set up Assembly Configurations showing the parts I need for a given view. It might sound like a lot of work, but for me it seems to go pretty quick.

It sounds like you are making changes to the model for different views. But this will affect all views that reference that model. You need to make more than one config of the assy with certain parts suppressed or hidden, and then point each of the views to a particular config.

I believe you can hide components and assemblies via the properties of that view in 2004.

Yes, this is another option too. I've used this method if I just want to turn off a couple of parts in a select view.
Richard
You can do this one of two ways. Either with configurations for each of the views with those parts hidden and NOT suppressed for each of the different configurations. Or you can hide those parts in each of the views that you dont want shown.
Hi,
Thanks you guys! I am somewhat of a beginner to SW and cannot say that I am all familiar with assembly configurations. I am trying to automate the process in VB.Net. Thanks again.
Best regards Pål Eilertsen
