Component Display in Drawing View

Hi,

This might be a stupid question:

How does one set the component display shown in a particular drawing
view?

I have a component display which blanks some parts and I want this
reflected in a drawing view. I attempted it by going View>Modify
View>View State and I get an 'Open Rep' dialog that lists the default
component display (MasterRep) but not the new component display that I
just created (WithoutProduct).

My work around was to just use View Display to blank the offending
parts, however I would like to know how to show various component
displays in a drawing.

Sorry if this is a FAQ, I didn't find anythinging on google and I
haven't used ProE in 4 years

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

I should add that I'm using 2001 and in the assembly my component
display function is listed under: View>Model Display>Component Display

First thing is that doing this in the assembly affects all views in the drawing. If you want to narrow the affect to the drawing, you have to do it in the drawing. In the drawing, go to 'View>Disp Mode>Member Disp'. From the Menu Manager, you can select Blank or some equivalent, pick the component and Done. This is good for one view of the drawing and no repercussions on the models.

That's what I did as a work around. It's a shame that one can define a
bunch of display states for the assembly but that those states are
unavailable for the drawing.

Thanks for the response.

Coming from WF (have never seen previous versions) so this may not even be
applicable. You are confusing (with PTC's help, I think) Reps and Styles.
Instead of using the Style (as they are called now, same in 2001? where you
"blank" objects) create a Simp Rep, "Exclude" the components you don't want to
show and then use that as the View State for that view. (Note that ~I thnk~
changing a view state after the fact will cause loss of existing annotations,
balloons, etc.).

 

Did you try making instances? Use family table to make instances and you can
surpress the parts you don't want. Then you just add each instance to the
drawings thru add model. You can replace the model with an instance too if a
view is already there.
