NX8.5 - Coordinates Appear In Drafting 1

Greetings:

I have a weldment assembly that is made up of several square tubes, each tube is its own .prt file. In each of these .prt files, I've layered out the coordinates, then turn that layer off. In drafting, I also set that layer to be invisible in the view. I still get a coordinate showing in drafting (see attached pic) and not sure how to not show it. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Brent

The Coordinate is an object which might be included in the Model Reference Set.

In the Assembly Navigator (of the Weldment Assy) right click on each of the components and change its Reference Set to MODEL.
If that doesn't fix it then let us know.

I did the Replace Reference set to each component in the Assy Navigator, when I selected that for each, Model was not an option. The options available are: All, Empty, or Entire Part

I tried the all, which seemed to get rid of it in the model, but back on the drawing, I can still see the Coordinate in each view. And actually, it is the Absolute coordinate that is showing up on the drawing?

Thanks,

Set your part model as the displayed part, go to format -> reference sets, create a new reference set named "model", select only the body(ies) that you want to show up in the drawing, and OK the dialog. Save the file and switch to your drawing; change the used reference set to "model". It should filter out anything except what you selected to be in the ref set.

That was the point I was trying to make in my original response. Of course, I assumed that the OP had been assigning 'Model' Reference Sets, which I thought could be set-up as the default for all 'Bodies' in a Part file.
