I'm a new user to catia & have a question about hide/showing parts
Lets say I have a large assy, such as a car. Inside that assy there are many sub assy's, inside of those are detail parts.
I open this large assy and need to take some screenshots for a meeting.
Problem1: When I use dynamic sectioning, I can't figure out how to keep the window sectioned. For example I choose a place to use for the dynamic sectioning, and the view looks good, but i'm basically stuck inside that sectioning tool. I can't exit the tool say to change a part color and keep the viewing window clipped or sectioned.
Problem 2: In order for me to take good screenshots, I am needing to hide some parts, sometimes just single bolts inside an assy. So I hide these items, take my screenshot.
Now I need to sort of 'reset' the window to it's original state so I have everything showing and I can prepare another screenshot. In NX, there was a "show all" command that showed everything that each assy allows to show. In catia, it seems that I can't "show all" at the main assy level, I can only 'show all' in a workbench such as gen shape design. I thought about switching between hidden and shown spaces, selecting what I hid and show it, then swapping back, but when I swap to hidden space, I literally see every piece of geometry from every model contained inside the assy and it's no help.
Any suggestions?
