Inventor 2017: Quicktip – Isolate for Suppression

By Scott Cunliffe

In Inventor, we have the Isolate command to control component visibility in the context of View Representations, but there is nothing similar for Levels of Detail. 

There’s a simple way to achieve this with current tools using the Copy to LevelofDetail command associated with View Reps.

• Create a new View Rep
• Isolate the components you don’t want suppressed
• Right-click on the new View Rep and “Copy to LevelofDetail”
• Save the assembly and delete the View Rep if not required.
