CATIA V5 - Component Display in Drawing

[natester]

I have received a CATIA V5 drawing with views that are generated from a CATPart file that contains several components. I have three views in which I want to make one of the components invisible. How do I make the component invisible in only selected views?

I discovered on my own how to perform this task.

It would be nice to share your success story...

Did you change the link of the view?

How did you make invisible some of the components?
Thanks

The way I have found is to right click the view frame, expand view lebel window, then overload properties. Brings up another window, select items from view to not show, item updates in window list, select item and hit edit button to bring up last window (Editor) and modify the pick box's as needed. Shown and Use when projecting are the two I use most.

When you work with a CATPart this overload properties option is not available.

use the View.Object / Modify link to use / not use bodies / geometrical set.

Here is how I accomplished this change....first note that all drawing views were locked.
1. In the CATDrawing file I unlocked the views in the drawing that I want to blank the components.
2. Open the CATPart file and HIDE the components that I want invisible in the drawing views.
3. Go back to the drawing and update the unlocked views. This made the desired components invisible.
4. Lock the changed views.
5. Go back to the CATPart file and UNHIDE the components.
6. Save the drawing file.

It was simple and worked well.

Just so long as you never have to update the drawing, or provide it as data to an OEM. (it won't pass the configuration conrol criteria)

For in-house hack and slash, it's *a* way of doing things.

have a look at the Modify link. It should be a better solution than locking views.
