Hello
The BE-ATELIER assembly dialogue is carried out by generating Edrawing files, from solidworks.
In our solidworks subassemblies, we use Envelope components so that we can attach the stresses between these components and the parts included in the subassembly.
Overall, envelope components are hidden automatically.
When we generate an edrawing file of a complete set, we find these envelope components without any distinction from the other components. We therefore end up with identical components in superposition, making it tedious to manipulate the edrawing display by hiding a part to see the one from behind, not to mention the heaviness of the file in edrawing...
Is it possible to ignore these envelope components when exporting to SW?
Is it possible to delete or purge overlay components in edrawing.
Hello;
I don't think you can exclude components when exporting to Edrawing...
but it is still possible to create a specific configuration in Solidworks, without your envelope components (probably by adding fixed position constraints), and export only those.
Kind regards.
I just tested, for me the envelope components are slightly transparent.
If I hide it manually and save it in edrawing, the envelope component is well hidden in the edrawing. (Even though it remains visible in the tree.)
Otherwise, without hiding, this component envelops the appearance, envelope gives way to the normal appearance.
First of all, thank you for your answers.
Indeed, when opening the Edrawing file, these pieces are well hidden.
On the other hand, during the use of edrawing, my colleagues have to hide other parts as the editing progresses, to redisplay them later with the "show all" command and at that moment, all these "envelope" components reappear.
On the other hand, using the "restore" command, the original display state seems to return.
To be tested to confirm...
Indeed, in this case, with everything shown, the components reappear and it can become problematic.
A solution would be to remove all the envelope components before export but it's a hassle.
The solution for me is actually to teach the people in the workshop how to Reset the edrawing file rather than selecting to show everything:
