catia v5 rev 16 view suppression?

[wowineedhelp1]

hello,

After I have created a view of the product I have made I would like to know if there is a way to suppress certain items out of that view (and not just using hide/show) to get rid of that part or product so I have a more clear drawing and it won't ask me for updates everytime when I have to unhide a product or part in that product!

Make the view you want with what you want to see and then lock the view until you need to update it.

how do i go about locking a view? i have right clicked on the view and looked as well as on the page on the right side and didn't c anything there either!

scratch that thought I have found it. So basically I hide/show what I want to see then lock the view. this will stop the view from updating and remaining what I want to see! is this correct?

i would not lock views... as it will be difficult to update them (you have to sort the product again).

I would have the complete product used for the view then I would use overlay property and turn "do not use" for the element you do not want in the view. Update will be much easier.

Your right, Overload Properties works much better.

ok i have messed around with the overload properties and your correct it does get rid of the stuff i don't want to see, but the problem i have no noticed is that whatever other lines that the item i am hiding is crossing also will disappear as well just in that section so i have just open lines and no closed ones. do your computers do this as well i am on a UNIX box so things could be differnent or is there a way to bring those sections of the lines back?

you pick the "do not show"... you should have pick the "do not use" option...

Try again..
