Now my collegues are worried that assemblies and sub-assemblies maybe getting to large because of using the view representation option. When i now place a new view on my drawing of the assembly, and choose the view representation, it will not change in the future when adding a part. I found out that, if I isolate a component, i could also make a new view representation of it and lock it like it is. Now we have to turn the visibility of the new part off on every view and put the view back on its original place by hand.īecause I am new at this company, I thought this was a silly way of working. This also means that views will shift on the drawing.

PROBLEM: If I use this option, and later on add a new part to my assembly, this new part will be displayed in every view, so also the views with 1 isolated parts (wich obviously isn't isolated anymore). The visibility of all other parts within that view are off.

In that way, Inventor only shows that single part. Right now, when collegues of mine wants to highlight a single part of an assembly to clearify dimensions, they isolate that part in the. So, when I am working with (for example) assembly 'A', I can only place all kind of views of the assembly and can not place a view of (for example) part 'B'. Because of our way of working with our database, we can only place views of the assembly if we our working on a drawing of the assembly itseld. Right now I got a problem when I want to show single parts of an assembly on the drawing of the assembly itself.

We are using Autodesk Inventor together with Teamcenter 8 (Siemens PLM Software) as database at our company.
