One component is hidden in subassembly but visible in the main assembly

[fsh27]

I have a subassembly with some hidden components. However, when I open the main assembly all the components are visible.
How can I inherit the subassembly display?

You need to use a Reference Set other than "Entire Part" for 'assembly2', since that is literally what it means, the ENTIRE part.

JohnRBaker suggesting the use of reference sets to control the visibility of components?!
Retirement sure has changed you...

There are a useful cases, but since the introduction of Arrangements, there are less.

Thank you both. Both are a great help in this forum.

I understand the use of the reference set for controlling the visualization of an arrangement. It´s easy to create, to modify, etc.

However, I´m confused about how NX behaves with hidden components in a sub-assembly.
For example,
I have an assembly with some hidden components.
I create a new parent.
My reference set in this moment is "entire part", although there are some components which are hidden. We have many assemblies in this way
I can maintain this situation, until someone press "show all components"
In this moment I have to come back to the sub-assembly and create a new reference set for being able to control the visualization.

Initially, I was thinking that it should be something like Synchronize subassembly properties to reset hidden components.
