View missing a part

I have a drawing that was created by a predecessor. It is a general view (from the top of the part) and from the best that I can tell, it is not an instance, nor a rep., nor a section view. The view is missing a top plate so that parts beneath it can bee seen. I am not sure how this was accomplished. Any suggestions?

Typically you would see the plate and the four screws.

Thanks, Dale

    I think you are stil on WF4-5...ish, right?

    Somewhere in the menu you have a component display button: component_display.PNG

    And when you select it, you get a menu manager menu: component_display2.PNG

    Select the "unblank" and any blanked components will highlight in red for selection.

      Why when you type "Blank" in the Creo 4.0 search tool bar, does is not come up with Component Display - Blank.

      Or if you do not have a drawing loaded, typing in "Component" doesn't come up with the command either. (It does if you have a drawing loaded.)

      Because search tools checks for the command name only, and there is no "Component Display – Blank" command in the ribbon, there is only "Component Display". Blank is one of the options inside the Component Display.

       

      Or if you do not have a drawing loaded, typing in "Component" doesn't come up with the command either. (It does if you have a drawing loaded.)

      The search tools is only looking through the ribbon for the current mode, not all possible modes. It's the same if you'd try to look for Assemble command while in Part mode, there will be no result.

      i.e. it is a very limited search tool.

       

      In other words, you need to know the command in order to search for the command.
