momentumbob Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I have a large assembly (hundreds of components). Somehow I managed to re-size (larger) the work planes associated with some of the parts. This badly messes up the appearance of my assembly when the work planes are turned on. I have hunted down some of the offending work planes and re-sized them but I can't seem to find them all. Is there a method of identifying to which part the work plane is associated when viewing the assembly so that I can open the offending part or sub-assembly and re-size the work plane ?

momentumbob Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 It looks like the brute force way is to scroll through the browser while monitoring the drawing with your other eye watching for the work plane to highlight. This works but seems a little Neanderthal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazer Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 There is a easier way to do this. In the second screen shot to I right mouse clicked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momentumbob Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 Thanks Lazer. I didn't think to check the selection priority setting. I always run with "Faces and Edges". Since I upgraded to 2016 Pro I haven't had nearly as many instances where the software changes this setting on its own so I'm not as diligent at verifying that this hasn't changed as I was back in the 2011 days. I always toggle the auto-resize to off and manually resize work planes. The auto resize is invariably too big for my work. Thanks again Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
