Problem
Parts can have multiple bodies within them, and the drawing sometimes only requires a few of those bodies. This article goes over how to use the "Select Bodies" option of a Drawing View to select certain bodies only for display in the drawing. In the example below, there are two structural members and two boss extrudes, which make up 4 bodies total.
Solution
- Open SOLIDWORKS and start a Drawing
- Insert a Model View of the Multibody Part
-
In the Model View Property Manager, click the "Right Arrow"
-
Click "Select Bodies", which will open the Part
-
Select the Bodies to show and click the Green Checkmark
-
Place the Drawing View. The example below has three bodies shown instead of four at the top of the article.
