Looking for help with layers

[jstiles]

Currently using WF3.0 and Ilink 3.4


I'm trying to fiugre out if there is a way to save layer status for an assembly and not have it trickle down to sub-components. I've gotreleased components that have shown Gtol's, datums, etc. that I don't want to have to deal with promotoing just to clear the visibile items so I'd like to hidethe layer(s) at my top level and save the status for that assembly but not have it saved in the lower parts and assembiles.


Currently I can hide the offending layer(s) but cannot save my status becauseI have the sub-components set to Read-Only so I don't have to update them before check-in.


Any healp is greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately there's no setting for this (as far as I know). We have the same problem.

What we do after updating an assembly layer status ist retrieve update all other parts back from Ilink except the .asm we actually want to change. Then we check in anly the .asm file.
But this doesn't fix the layer problem, just the check-in problem.

Best practise for me is to have all items on layers and have all layers hidden by default.
Then I unhide layers in the drawings when I need them (having set drawing layer status independent of model layer status!).

Try making sure the settings Propagate Status and Save status in sub-models are unchecked under the Settings dropdown when the layer tree is shown.

Thanks for sharing.

You can modify and save the status of the assembly without changing any other submodel.

All you need to do is set the layer tree to display only the layers of the top assembly.

No Submodel Layers should be checked.
