I've got a problem with a component affecting the viewing of its parent assemblies.
Let me start by trying to illustrate the assembly structure, and then describe what is happening.
Asm1 .Asm2 ..Asm3 ...Part1 ...Part2
Part1 and Part2 represent extruded stock, both are 12 feet long. They are assembled, side by side, in Asm3 which is 12 feet long (obviously). In Asm2, they are trimmed to a desired length and a part is put on each end. That assembly is then used in Asm1.
Now, here's the problem. In Asm2, when I zoom to fit, it fits the trimmed assembly to the screen. But, it Asm1, it's as if the 12 foot long sub-components were still 12 feet long. A zoom to fit puts the visible assembly at the very bottom of the screen, zoomed way out.
Why is the sub-assembly OK but its parent isn't? And how can I fix it? I'm looking for a view option or something that I can set.
Thanks.
