Single part view in Creo

[huggre]

Does anyone have a good method for creating single part views in an assembly drawing where the attached BOM ballon is correctly assosiated to the drawing partslist?

Im familiar with workarounds like using simplified reps., hide/show components, single part surface view etc., but all of these methods have huge disatvantages and requires a lot of work.

Why on earth did PTC create a "single part surface view" option and not a "single part view" option???

Thanks, Hugo

You can always add the part model to the drawing and then create any views you want from that model. If you are unfamiliar with this, you just right click in space and select "drawing models" then select "add model" and add the part you want. Remember the drawing now references multiple models so when placing tables you need to have the correct model active.

I've used view layers to do this for specific groups of parts. Of course, you can also exclude parts from views. And James' method works just as well by making a single part the active model. Maybe PTC thought that there were already enough options to not bother with your suggestion... but that shouldn't keep you from creating the Idea.
