We currently have a client who wants to test a lot of things, in an assembly with hundreds of parts.
Making copies of these parts and duplicating layers for is getting in the way of efficiency.
I would like to use Named Position to make this more efficient, however I’ve discovered two things:
- Named Position only works on top level blocks. It does not work on nested block items.
- There’s no way to store whether an object/layer is visible or hidden in a Named Position?
The first thing is problematic but it will only make me suffer once I want to export, but the second thing is more annoying, because that means in order to switch between concepts, I have to first swap Named Position, and then manually show and hide layers for objects which are actually different between the concepts as well.
This is new to me, so how are people getting around these kinds of workflow issues?
