Layer state for part & drawing

Hello Community,

Is it possible to have different layer state for a part/assembly and its associated drawing.

For instance, I have a manufacturing file with many milling windows. I have created a layer driven by a rule to isolate these. I would like to hide milling windows in my manufacturing document for the workshop, and keep these milling windows displayed in the manufacturing assembly.

In fact, I'm still having a problem.

In my model I made a layer with a rule to select all milling windows

In the drawing I configured as Stephen shown. In the drawing I hide the layer then save the layer status. I go back to the manufacturing file, the windows are still shown, that's cool. But if I go back to the drawing the milling windows are shown again even if the icon in the layer status shows it's hidden !! (Milling windows are shown in purple on the drawing). What am I doing wrong ?

I can only think of one reason, you have that view controlled independently from the drawing layers.

You can see this if you select the arrow icon in the layer tree. Notice on the image below, all the view boundaries are shown in blue (this may be a different color on your setup, I have custom colors assigned). If any of your view are green (or different colors) you have independently controlled the layers for this view.

If you don't want the view to be controlled by the overall drawing layers (recommended), select that view boundary. Then in the layer menu, select DRAWING DEPENDENT.
