showing different Model Representations in the same drawing

[dansoarr]

Hi,
can someone please tell me if i can show different representations of the same model within a single sheet on a drawing in Pro-E WF2?

I cant use different models to achive it as the models are all controlled parts and our QA system will not let me do this.

Thanks

What do you mean by representation?

Showing models in a drawing is straight forward, I can't think what you mean...?

Sorry, Rep's as in Master, simplified, etc . .

I have different configurations generated using Reps and need them displayed on the same drawing.

You can use different simplified representations and the BOM associated in the same drawing.

To add a different rep, right click anywhere in the background of the screen and select properties (or File--Properties), then select Drawing Models-->Set/Add Rep

Can seem to do that with Assemblies but not with just a single part (WF2 250Cut).
Had to create lots of instances and display them!! Very messy

– If anyone is listening Please, Please, Please let me use SolidWorks, heresy I know but . . . Engineers should not be spending time working out how to get Pro-E to do what they want.

The only people in our design office who like Pro-E, have never used anything else & they still struggle with Pro-E's lack of communication / usefull help . . ..Arghhhhh

Indeed it is not possible to represent a part in simplified mode.

There is a work-arround. Why not create an assembly, insert your part there, create the simplified reps of the assembly accordingly with the simplified reps of your part. And then put the assy in the drawing. There you can show your reps.

would be a way around the problem, but unfortunatly our document managment system is very strict (R&D medical) and as such I cant have ghost Asm's. Even the way I've done it is not good and if the wrong person realises then they will throw a fit!

There are only 2 other possibilties
1- upgrade to Wildfire 3.0 (enables using simplified reps of parts in drawings) &
2- replace all simplified reps with family tables

Dansoarr;

Prior to WF1/2, you were able to show simp. reps of parts in drawings (the option was there). In WF, the option is grayed out in the Properties menu.
