Use Preset View States to Control What is Visible in a Figure
It is now possible to change the view state for each top level assembly in a figure after you have created the figure.
Release: Creo Illustrate 9.0.0.0
What is the benefit of this enhancement?
This new feature allows you to switch or re-apply the View State for an assembly in a figure. An example would be to duplicate a figure and apply a different view state that shows an alternate configuration while keeping the exploded state from the original figure.
