View manager> Layer: cannot control sub assembly display

[creuz]

Hi

I have a large assembly where I need to show different set ups by simply turning some sub assemblies on/off. So to that end I am using the Layers tab in View Manager.

When I hide a sub assembly, the layer state name prompts with a plus sign to indicate a save is required, and it works. But, if I want to show a sub assembly but hide an assembly within it, this can't be saved to the display name, that is, turning off a "sub-sub assembly" doesn't trigger the Later state name to update.

If you all can think of workaround to one click, show these items, another click show other items, that would be great.

Cheers

Rick

I've never used layers to control assy component visibility.

I use simplified reps. You can control sub-level components.

Just a word of caution, if you use repeat region BOM balloons on drawings, those balloons don't play well with simplified reps.
