How to create views that reference an iAssembly member, and how to switch the view to a different iAssembly member.
Views can reference an iAssembly member, but not the factory. In addition to views, you can create a general table. The table can reference an iAssembly factory and contains all members by default. The table updates when changes are made to the factory table.
A drawing view responds as follows to a deleted iAssembly factory or member:
- A view that references a factory member does not change when the member is deleted.
- If all members are deleted from an iAssembly factory, it reverts to a regular assembly. Drawing views created from the members are unchanged.
- A view that references a regular assembly responds when the assembly is converted to an iAssembly factory. It automatically references the first member in the factory table.
Create a Drawing View of an iAssembly Member
- On the ribbon, click
Place Views tab
Create panel
Base.
- On the Components tab, browse to an iAssembly factory.
- Click member to select one of the listed factory members.
You can specify a factory member even if files were not generated (no file was created on disk).
- In the Drawing View dialog box, specify scale, representation, and display style, and other view properties.
- Click OK to close the Drawing View dialog box.
Switch the Member in a View
After you create a drawing view, you can change the referenced iAssembly member.
If the view has a dependent view it also updates to reflect the new member. Likewise, if you edit a dependent view, the parent and the dependent view both update.
- Right-click the view and select Edit View.
- On the Component tab of the Drawing view dialog, click the arrow on Member. Select a different member and click OK.
