You can use selection filters to quickly create LOD’s which suppress parts that aren’t needed in your drawing.įor example, you could suppress all the Internal components of your Assembly for a General Arrangement drawing, or Suppress all the parts that are too small to be seen at the Scale you will be working to. Tip: Remember to hit ‘Save’ to save your new LOD, with it’s suppression states.
Now go ahead and suppress any components that you won’t need in your drawing view (right click on a components and chose ‘Suppress’). Simply right click on the ‘Level of Detail’ node in the Assembly browser and chose ‘New Level of Detail’. How do I create an LOD Rep’Ĭreating a new Level of Detail is easy. Level of Detail Rep’s use suppression to unload components from memory. The key difference between a View Representation and a Level of Detail Representation is that a View will only change to ‘Look’ of something. We aren’t going to talk about Positional Representations today. You will see ‘View’, ‘Level of Detail’ and ‘Position’ nodes. Inventor’s Assembly representations can be found under the ‘Representations’ Node in the Assembly Browser. I also want to show you when not to use LOD’s. I want to show you how we use LOD’s to lighten the load on Inventor.
Occasionally Inventor can really struggle to create drawings from the Large assembly files that we work on. We don’t create ‘Piece Part’ drawings – One timber rail is pretty much the same as another! We provide part numbers on the drawings and a cutting ticket for the Workshop. In the Joinery Industry we create all our drawings from our Assembly models. If you need to create drawings from your large Assembly files, you might appreciate this tip on using Inventor LOD’s or ‘Level of Detail’ Representations.
