Parts no visable when opening up a assembly?

[rmiller-2]

Hello I am having issues of parts not visible when opening up a assembly in 3.0 . There is a few of my parts not visible in the graphics area however they are in the model tree . There a no simplified reps of this assembly . I can activate the missing part, edit a feature and the part shows up.  I can save the assembly but when I re open it  its missing again. Any ideas ??

Thanks

Hi, it is possible to share your assembly (we can try to investigate your data)

Rodney,

I met similar situation in CR3 M020. I used the following procedure to resolve the problem.

1. I started Creo session
2. I opened top assembly (for example myasm.asm.22) from original directory
3. I created backup directory (for example c:\backup)
4. I applied Backup command on top assembly into backup directory
5. I ended Creo session
6. In backup directory I renamed top assembly file (for example from myasm.asm.1 to myasm.asm.23)
7. I copied renamed top assembly file from backup directory to original directory
8. I started Creo session and opened top assembly (myasm.asm.23) from original directory ... assembly display was OK

Thanks I will give that a try .

I just would like to know what causes this problem . I have seen it happen a few time in the past and not sure if it is a software bug or something I am doing incorrect .

Thanks

I guess the problem is caused by software bug...

[rmiller-2]

Martin Hanak , I tried your solution and it corrected the problem . Talked with our CAD manager about this and he to has seen this problem on  few occasions . I believe it is a software bug also .

Thanks for your help

Rodney,

What are the results if you change the display style to Wireframe/Hidden Line/No Hidden/Shading after retrieving the assembly?

[rmiller-2]

I tried that but it seems to make no difference.

Thanks

Basic question but I gotta ask...Are the parts hidden or turned off in a layer?

[VladimirPalffy]

This part is hidden in the Model Tree

Vladimir

[rmiller-2]

Correct , my part shows up not hidden in model tree or layer tree, just not visible in graphics area . 

Thanks

[rmiller-2]

No, one of the first thing I checked for .

Thanks

I assume this same model opened up on another machine exhibits the same issue?

I would suggest opening up a support ticket with PTC. See if they can explain the behavior.

Rodney,

Try below steps (not sure whether it will work or not), if it fails create a case for Tech. Support.

1. File > Options > System colors

2. Miscellaneous > Change color for 2D Model References to some other > Ok

3. Check component display in assembly.
