How do I show a SW Block in a detail view?

Hello Everyone,

 

Next issue... 🙂 

 

I have a Solidworks block that I have put into my drawing. It's basically an overview of a machine our components mate up with.

 

I have a detail view for this match up, but the block won't display within the view.

 

I understand why it is not showing, it is a 2D format, where the detail view is a 3d format. It's essentially the same reason sketch items don't show up in the view.

 

Is there anyway I can make/force the block to display within the detail view?

 

Things I have tried:

  • Originally I imported the block into an empty view, easier to move around. I then imported it so it is in the same view as the 3D model.
  • Exploded the block
  • Importing the block into the detail view separately.

 

As always, thank you in advance.

 

Jim
