It is ok when you start drawing from zero.
I can't change existing view's reps from master rep to user created rep.
It is painful.
See my reply here, hope it helps. I'm using Creo 2.
Hello,
I don't know if you are still wondering, seems as if you have solved the problem, but here's what I do in order to have both a Master rep view and a simp rep view in one drawing:
1. Create a simp rep of the part
2. Create a drawing, place a general view, and choose Master rep when you get prompted to choose a rep. As you can see the Master rep is the active model rep if you look at the bottom left corner (REP: MASTER REP)
3. Add the simprep model to the drawing by going to Drawing Models > Add model. Choose your part and now choose the simprep when you are prompted with the rep question. Click on Set/Add model and see that both Master rep and simprep are listed. Choose simprep if needed.
4. See that the active rep is now REP: SIMPREP. Place a general view and it's the simprep view that is placed.
5. If you wish to change back to placing Master rep views you only need to go to Drawing Models > Set/Add rep and choose Master rep instead.
Hope it helps. Think this way is easier. Don't know why one can't choose representation in the Drawing View dialog box under View State for parts...
I created a user defined representation of a part and was able to create another user defined representation in the assembly using that part calling out that part representation. I now have the representation in a view on my drawing but I'm unable to dimension it. Any ideas why that might be?
