hiding part in view

I'm trying to hide / suppress a component in an assembly in a
particular view in a drawing. And only in that view. I have tried the
hide switch but that blanks all instances of that component in all
views. I have tried placing the component on a layer and blanking that
layer but again that affects all views. I only wish to hide that
component in one particular view. Is this possible and if so what menu
choice am I missing?

Try view>drawing display<component display from the top pull down menu,
then hit <blank it defaults to the 'picked view'

 

Think View / Drawing Display / Component Display is what you want (assuming WF).

 

Could you not make a simplified rep excluding that one component and
create a view using that simplified rep?

 

Yes, you can do that, but your parts list will not show the part at all. A
simplified rep show the bom of the parts in that simplified rep. The best
and easiest way to turn off a part or even a few parts from only one view is
using the way i showed you, (if your using wildfire), releases before
wildfire i believe the command is <view <disp mode <member disp.
it works the same way.

 

Thank you gentlemen, that did the trick perfectly. I don't know how I
missed that myself after I went through all the menus.
