QUESTION ON SE VIEWS IN THE DRAFT

[jvinson125]

I have a large model with differnt assemblies.
I inserted it into a draft and all I get is a dashed border box.
No wire frame. I can insert a single assembly from the larger one and I can see it. What is going wrong? I am using simplified assemblies. I can see a shaded view of the assembly but not a wire frame. What am I doing wrong?

Does the assy have any surfaces in it that aren't solid bodies?

yes it does from a 3rd vendor

It's been a while since I played around with that but it may be causing some of the problems.

Take a good look at the display settings in the draft views.

RMB on the draft view then Properties.
On the 'Display' tab select and RMB on the part that has the surfaces.
From the list click 'List Constructions'.
Update the view and the surfaces will show.
