Hi there,
is there a way to enable assembly layers with the option "include submodels" and actually get a result for the assembled components?
I mean, the "Preview Results" window shows results, but when hiding this rule based layer (associative, rules enabled, independent) nothing happens. The message reads "Rules cannot be evaluated for submodels of a Layer model."
We have been working with default layers instead of rules until now. However, we've started experiencing problems in assemblies with wrongly set layer options in assembled sub models, since these are "released" in our pdm system and cannot be changed without further ado.
So, I would like to set the layers by rules in an assembly discounting the submodels.
I found the ppt "Take time to obey the rules" here and started experimenting with rule driven layers. But the problem remains: When enabling "include submodels" all I get is "Rules cannot be evaluated for submodels of a Layer model."
I have to "expand" them, but then each model has to be changed, which is exactly what I am trying to avoid.
Any suggestions?
TIA
Andreas
