Turning off (or not) identical elements on dwg

[jack3108]

I have 10 identical parts in line in the assy. On the DWG in one of the views I see only the first element the remaining 9 being in line are blocked by the first.

Question: Will the DWG load/"manipulate" faster if I go to the tree of that view and "turn off" (whatever the word) the remaining 9 elements ?

Thanks for the answers.

DWG is a standard AutoCAD drawing. I assume you are using a SW Drawing?

If so, then hide one the component that is blocking your view in the assembly model, or use HLV in th drawing to see the other components behind the single component.

If you Suppress the other 9 components in the assembly will work too.

Sounds like you need to use configurations in your assembly and use the appropriate Configs. in your drawings.

Suppressing the features in teh assembly will increase your SLDDRW load times. Do as suggested, and look at creating a configuration of your assy with the hidden parts Supressed, then use this new configuration to create your drawings.
