AFX connector is not assembling if Datum referances are with Hide state in connector part

Hi,

I am attempting to include my custom component as a connector in the AFX library.

In the script tab file, I'm adding connector references for assembly.

 

When I try to assemble that connector and the connector references are in the hidden state, afx displays an error.

For example, if I refer to a plane from a connector for assembly and the plane is in the Hide state in the connector component, afx will fail to assemble it.

We are using Creo 8 and Creo 10.

We use MBD for parts and ensure that all datums are hidden for the Model_only tab.

 

Anyone know how to use connector references, even if they are hidden ? Your help is  appriciated.

Hi,

I guess that references are not hidden but suppressed. If this is the case then you cannot assemble component.

    Thank you very much. My MBD system automatically suppressed these datums when I regenerated my assembly. I fixed it and it now works like a charm.
