isolate components/filtrate display plans

[antonio_sc]

Good evening,
I've been using it for a while and I've started to approach the axioms.. However, it will also be trivial, hard to understand how to "isolate" the visualization of some components of a set....in the "student edition" of version 5.0 there is the command "show only", but in the version that I installed in the office (4.0) nothing like it. . .
this could come back comfortable for the coupling of the same (filtrate the surfaces to be coupled) and for other reasons. .
and here comes the second question: is there a way to filter the display of the planes/assis etc of the various components (manage the display of the same)? . . .they are heavy assemblies and therefore if they select the filter "view planes" or "visual axes" I get the wrath of axle.
I took a look around and found some info about layers, but no effective/complete tutorials to understand its 360° use...can you give me any indication/direction in this regard?
thanks in advance and good evening!

the layers there is not much to learn, they are collectors that can be filled manually or by rules.
if in the office they were not made appropriate start-ups with the layers for rules and obscured by default, they should be done.
However to make a rule is quite simple, you create the layer, you do add element and instead of selecting it manually, you create a rule between the options, automatically opens the usual search interface, you select what the search has to group (so plans, or axes, or points etc.), you create the search rule (there are also the operators "and" and "or" if they need to serve), you perform the search, and you from ok.
the asterisk "*" works wildly if you want to search for all items with similar characteristics but different names.
Finally before exiting the layer creation screen, you check the option for automatic update of the rule, then all that will be created again consistent with the rule, will be inserted into the layer.
Finally, be careful that the state of the layers is not linked to the overall saving of the file, so if you see a layer off and you do not save the status of the layer, to the next loading of the particular, the layer will be turned off (of course also applies the layers found active and then turned off manually).

Thank you so much!

another convenience is the parameter of the config.pro "def_layer", example
def_layer layer_curve curve
def_layer layer_point puntithe relative levels will be created and populated automatically as soon as you create a curve or a point. on the manual find all other possibilities.

Hi, guys, I'm in the discussion.
I am new with creo, I have always used inventor and was much less ostico, I have the same problem of antonio_sc, when I display plans in a set makes me see all the plans (I create 4.0 m080).
I tried to follow the advice of 320i s but without success when clicking displays plans makes me see them all and not only the plans that I created referment and that I want to view.
Can you help me?

Thank you very much

the display of the plans and all references of this type, applies globally to the open model (such as all cad), the difference of creo compared to other cad, is that there are several ways to activate the plans concerned:
-layer: if they can make infinite, with very different rules, ranging from name, to specific reference type, to their position in the model tree
- Hide control: you go on the specific reference that interests you

personally recommend:
-6 general layers with specific rules for the type of reference (points, axes, planes, siscos, curves and notes), which incorporate them all, to be kept active in part standards
-organize references by giving them a name (and do not leave the default name), when they are many and group them in groups together with the relevant features (in the right-click selection it is easier to find them)
-when there are references that are used continuously, you go to the general layers and you manually exclude these references in the collection screen (without changing the rules, since it is allowed to do so).
-remember that layer and command hides, follow the internal rescue of the layer state and not that of the file (which is very comfortable), i.e.: I can hide and activate layers and views, without that to save the file having to put everything back as before.

They are difficult things at first I realize, but I do not hide that on this creo is much further than other cads like cad and solidworks (which I still use now), once understood as "ragiona".

I don't really understand anything.

 

[320i S]

I therefore deduce that layers are unknown to you in creo....

This is what I have when I create a new part. Can you help me?

apart from the first and seventh icon, the others are index that the layers have rules that by default incorporate the dedicated references.

test so, activate the plans -> steps to the layers, edit the layer of the floors with rule -> with the "excluding" button select the plans in graphic area, which you want to see when active/disactive the plans ->dai ok leaving the edict of the layer -> then hide the entire layer -> save the state of the layer.

when you have finished modeling and/or no longer need those ever-activated plans, go back to the edict of the layer and delete the voices you had inserted with "excluding".
