Issue:
In an Inventor presentation file(.ipn), 3D annotations suddenly display even though they're not visible in the assembly.
Applying a Design View representation to the presentation scene doesn't turn off their visibility.
Cause:
This occurs in Inventor 2022 through 2024 if suppressing/un-suppressing assembly components in the Master(Primary) Model State.
And only when the assembly has no Model States other than the default Master(Primary).
The issue is currently under investigation for a resolution:
Solution:
To prevent this from occurring when suppressing components create a Model State for this purpose.
Once the 3D annotations are visible in the presentation scene they can't be removed by applying a Design View representation(with Associative option) to that scene. A Design View rep is applied to the presentation scene with the Representations... option:
- In this example the Scene has the custom design view 'No MBD' applied to it. No 3D annotations are visible in the assembly but display in the presentation file.
Workaround #1:
You may be able remove the visible 3D annotations by toggling component visibility.
- Right-click on the component(s) with visible 3D annotations.
- Uncheck 'Visibility'. Repeat and re-select 'Visibility'
Workaround #2:
- If toggling visibility doesn't remove the 3D annotations delete the presentation Scene and recreate it:
- If no other Scene is present recreate the Scene using 'Create Scene'. Delete the 'broken' scene.
