Good day to everyone!
I used AFX and I created an exploded view in View Manager. After some assembly modification, replacing and movement of parts I verified my exploded view in assembly, which is updated, but in drawing the view showed these components overlaped. What should I do to have the exploded view updated in drawing?
Another thing, how I can add a balloon to the 12 component, because Create Balloon by component doesn't work?
I attach 2 pictures here.
Make sure you "save" your explode view modifications in your model.
Make sure you regen the views in your drawing after fixing your position.
Make sure your view orientation in your drawing is the same as you have in the model (save the view orientation in the model to use it in the drawing)
As far as balloon 12. If there are any other views with balloons, make sure 12 isn't on them. Check the drawing tree to verify balloon 12 isn't hidden.
I use Creo 7, How can I regenerate my view in drawing?
For regen, use the review tab in the drawing, Update Drawing view for the one view.
Update sheets for all the sheets.
where I can find the balloon in drawing tree?
I'm on Creo 4 so it may not be exactly the same.
Erased balloon in view in drawing tree. Select it, use RMB unerase.
this is my drawing tree fully expanded.
I use a standard license, could this be because of it?
Select the "Table" tab and expand the Drawing Tree to see the bom balloons.
Thank you. It worked.
Why I can't put as many copy of my balloons as I need in all views?
I came from Solidworks and Inventor and on that programs I could do that. I switch to Creo on my 2 months new job, without any phisical training only online training from learning connector and youtube.
About updating my exploded view of my framework assembly can you help me?
Creo only allows one bom balloon for each part in a bom table. With split qty balloons, for items with a quantity of more than 1, you can split the balloon qty between multiple balloons. Otherwise you can create reference balloons to label a part in another view.
