Much like an alternate position in a drawing but in the actual model itself. Can you display more than one config of a sub-assy in an upper level assy?

When I add the colors after they do not follow even though I check the option in appearances "in all configurations". with the display state technique I can not create exploded views, I can only hide parts. Is there a solution? please tell me there is hi,

Do you know if you can switch the display state of a lower level assembly within the context of a top level assembly?

If I change a display state of a model, save it then open an assembly containing that, it seems to show the last display state saved.

The number of the people dissatisfied with the figure or health recently has increased and, as consequence, trying to get rid of excess weight. You should pick up a diet approaching you, and also learn to make correctly balanced diet. Many now interests how correctly to eat.

When you apply the color, look in the 'Configurations/Display States' section of the 'Color And Optics PropertyManager'. In this section to can specify that the color you are specifying apply to the 'Current Display State/Part Configuration', 'All Display States/Part Configurations' or you can specify which display with 'Specify Display States/Part Configurations'. If you continue to have any issues or any other questions please feel free to ask.  Hi Mikeo, Yes, you can apply different colors per the Display State.
