Why must the detail view always follow the layer display of the parent view? Is there a way around this stupid rule?
We need to show some tooling pins in a detailed view but they are just clutter in a parent view. Sketching them is a stupid work around.
The other stupid work around is to make the detailed view a general view and add the detail call out separately.
These represent stupid work-arounds - SWA
Does anyone know a way to control layers independently in a detailed view?

My solution is to do a local cross-section in the parent view. It's just another work-around but it solves most of my issues.
Only 1 or 2 times a year do I need to make a detailed view in to a general view and then FAKE the view callouts.
I agree it would be a nice option to allow some control.

The detail view is a very simple magnified copy of an enclosed portion of the original view. That is its only function. There are no other controls.

Yes, I'm aware of that.
I guess all I can hope for is that PTC will see fit to change that. Which I'm sure will happen any minute now.

You should submit a product enhancement. I looked and didn't see one.

Not that it would actually get action but it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

You can't blank a component in a detail view, you have to blank it in the parent view.

We have many components with small areas of high precision (hence the detailed views) so I find myself doing the same #@!!&$ work-arounds on a very regular basis.

Are you detailing parts in the context of the assembly?

No, these are almost always component drawings so I'm missing out on any assembly functionality.

The features are created using virtual tool pins and sketches are also created so the dimensions look logical.
The sketches are put on a layer and only unhidden where they are useful.
It all works well until we need a detailed view. Thanks Obama.

Ahhh, I figured there was more to it than my simple imagination was leading too.
