Hidden sub-assembly will not stay hidden

[wali]

I am using WF2 and when I open my assembly, I have a sub-assembly that is hidden. I then unhide it and save. When I call it up again, it is hidden. I have even checked it into Intralink, started a new workspace, it always comes up hidden.


Is there anyone that can help?


Thanks

Save your layer status before you save the file.

 

[puppet]

in the model tree

->show

then on the "layers"

rmb -> save layer status



then save the part





OH do this after u have hidden what ever it is you want to hide.

... or View Menu, Visibility, Save Status if you find it easier.

Might anyone be able to tell me;
While working in an assembly I change visiblity of a part feature. What is necessary to make that change permanent? I think it's necessary to open the part, save status, etc. Is that correct?

Thanks for the suggestions.


I tried saving layer status with the sub-assembly unhidden.


It still comes back hidden.


Must be a corrupt part or a bug.

wali,


Try adding to this to your config display_layer in option and set the layer id as value, i think it will work.

... It still comes back hidden. ...

Just to make sure we're on the same page, is it a 1st level or 2nd level sub? (If you are working in assy_01 which contains sub_01 and sub_01 contains sub_01a, is it sub_01 or sub_01a that is giving you problems?)

Hi Jeff


The problem is still there and it is a 1st level sub-assy. When I open the top assembly, a sub-assembly is hidden.


I tried going to the hidden list in the layers, unhide and save status - still no luck.

after making hide or unhide any part or sub assy go to

Yes, that should work.

I'm sorta wondering about (and just grasping for straws) "going into the hidden list in the layers". I very seldom use the layer list to toggle visibility of objects in the "Hidden" layer and am wondering if there might be a "synch" problem or some kind of goofy conflict.

Wali,
Have you tried simply selecting the sub assembly in the model tree (must be 1st level, e.g. can't be a nested entity to the best of my knowledge), RMB, Unhide, Save Status, Save model, Close, Erase from memory, Open...?

Thanks for all your help.


When I opened up the assembly this morning, all is OK.


All I did to it on Friday was I redifined the assembly constraints and it did not hide itself again.
