Components not visible in drawing views

You have created some views of your assembly and, in some of them, some components are not visible.

In general this can happen in views of large assemblies where small components don’t display.

Our development is working for fixing the problem.

In the meantime we hope you can find this workaround useful.

The workaround is based on the fact that the problem is not reproducible if the view is shaded.

• In the assembly, create or edit a color style, setting the opacity to 0.

• Create a new Representation View.
• In the assembly browser make a multiple selection of the components.
• Select the color you have created or modified from the Color drop-down menu for applying it to the components.

• In the drawing, edit the view where the components are not visible, apply the Representation View created and set the view as Shaded.

Actually the view will not display as shaded, but the components will be visible.

I am not sure if this is a related problem, but I imported a .sldprt file, which is a gaerbox casing from a vendor. The entire gearbox is a surface (I don't know if this makes a difference).

When I insert a part (.ipt) view onto a drawing it works fine. When I insert an assembly (.iam) view onto a drawing nothing shows up. I tested this with the full assembly and just the part saved as an assembly. Everything but the gearbox will show up on the full assembly view drawing.

Thanks for the help.
