Envelope problem on drawings

2D plans Layout
1

Hello

 

I have a problem with assembly drawings, some components appear in line lines.

After searching I found that it is the envelopes used in the assemblies that cause this problem, despite the fact that they are in a hidden state in the assembly. The only way found would be to switch them to a deleted eta but it "breaks" my assembly.

Is there a configuration to be made so that in the drawing they are always invisible? Maybe create a continuous line layer that will retrieve all the envelopes?

My assembly is relatively heavy and advanced, I can't go back on my envelope-based architecture (weight and bill of materials management), I know that a bug is apparently open at solidworks, but I have to find a solution to get around this problem.

If anyone has found a solution to this, thank you in advance.

Changing envelopes to normal components

You can change envelope components to normal components.

To modify an envelope in a normal component:

  1. Right-click an envelope in the graphics area, and then click Component menu_Component_Properties.gifProperties.
  2. In the lower-right corner of the dialog box, turn off the Envelope option .

    The Exclude from BOM option is also disabled.

  3.  Click OK.

    The component is no longer an envelope. In the FeatureManager design tree, FM_envelope_part.png is replaced with FM_part.gif to indicate that the component is a normal component of the assembly. In the graphics area, the component no longer has the transparent blue color.

Hello

 

Thank you but this is not possible.

 

I don't want the components to have a weight, and moreover too risky to forget the "exclude from the nomenclature" and to have a duplicate.

Is your assembly that heavy?

Hello

 

It seems to me that in the properties of the view in the drawing, you can uncheck the "show envelope" box.

Thank you Frederic.

In fact I didn't find not displaying the envelopes in the plan. (on the other hand you can force them to display)

 

On the other hand I found how to modify the type of lines and change them to solid rather than dotted, so the dotted line is no longer a priority and it works. It's in the document options.

It's a machine weight problem. a 400kg envelope if I put 10 times in the assembly it's 4T too much if I don't go through the envelope.

Quick question about envelopes in drawings, can they be attached to a layer with the type of line and line color taken into account?

I tried, but the colors and line types don't follow. I wanted to make sure it wasn't a display bug.
