ShrinkWraps in Drawings

[allainmfg]

Well I have a problem, I was working with a huge assembly, our total layout of one of our projects actually. And it was way too heavy my small computer would want nothing to do with it. So I thought about shrinkwraping some components. I had experience with shrinkwraping in the past so I gave it a try. I Shrinkwrap every major component of my assembly independently and put them all together. Everything is fine not heavy at all, everything follows the models perfectly. However when I put this in a Drawing every component that was shrinkwrap no matter what view state i'm in, (wireframe, Shaded, ect). it appears in an almost purple color (in the drawing) and I can see it trough all my other components. I tryed to get go trough the view properties and set the view display and still nothing.

I hope someone can help me. I'd just like to have my shrinkwraps cooperate in no hidden line views.

Thank You

Under View Display select YES for "Hidden Line Removal for Quilts"

Are you sure all your shrinkwrapped parts are solids? I had bad experience in the past with this command.

-Hora

I did that but some of the quilts still stay...As for the solids, I don't know I always thought they where solid. I make my shrinkwraps from model so they update. I presume they are solide geometrie but I don't know how to tell for sure.

Thanks

Look on the assembly in wireframe (hidden or not) If you see parts in magenta, this means those parts are not solid.

Have you considered other alternatives to work with your huge assembly:
Simplified Reps - lots of choices here - exclude all small components, simplify the complicated parts, envelope parts, etc.....
Drawing Reps
Z-Clipping the view

Buying a 64bit workstation.....

Well seems they are not Solid...Thank you, And John I've just recently started to experement with this, excluding all small components ( is done, well we don't have many of them in the assembly ), simplify the complicated parts
(Our assemblies are pretty simple theres just lots of em), The envelopes I was going to try next, but i'm still very new to all these procedures, Drawing reps ( is not an option because the view that bothers me most is the Total layout)...and what is Z-clipping the view ?

Thank You, Denis LeBlanc
