Missing Components/sub assembly

Unread post by Bryan O »

This drawing has been driving me crazy.
It is a sub assembly drawing (separate page) within a top level drawing with multiple pages/subs.
To create a new page I copy the existing page, change configuration of the view and BOM.
On 2 particular configurations of this sub, I change the config and the components disappear. The BOM remains correct but I loose the visibility of the parts.

The Feature manager shows the sub configuration but it does not appear in the drawing.

UCS-1000 is the top level assembly for this page.
FES-1001 is the sub. There is not an arrow to expand the components. It's like they don't exist at all.

It is not lightweight, the properties of the view show that not components are hidden.

I'm just at a loss.
Any help would be appreciated.

That component that you are pointing to on the bottom left is suppressed. Not hidden.

So I would expect it to be removed entirely from the drawing.

And if you want the BOM to reflect the current config of the drawing view, then you will need to delete and recreate the BOM.

As far as I know, that is the only way to update the config on a BOM.

Thanks @DanPihlaja but no luck.
It is something linked to a particular sub assembly.
I've recreated the entire drawing, page by page, with no luck. I get to the page of the 1 sub assembly and BOOM! Parts disappear. I open the sub and everything is there! MADDENING!

Hrmm. Can you pack and go the assembly and drawings and let us take a look at it?
Hard to diagnose from afar. Could be a million things.
