You can use the View
Assembly Display Options menu item to control the display of part instances in the current viewport. By default, ABAQUS/CAE displays all part instances included in the assembly. You can turn the display of all instances on or off, or you can toggle the display of individual instances. Part instances that you have suppressed or that do not belong to the current display group cannot be made visible using this dialog box; you must use the Feature Manipulation toolset or the Display Group toolset instead. For more information, see Chapter 13, “The Assembly module,” or Chapter 52, “Using display groups to display subsets of your model.”
To control instance visibility:
Locate the Instance display options.
From the main menu bar, select ViewAssembly Display Options. Click the Instance tab in the dialog box that appears. The Instance options become available; each part instance in the assembly is listed.
To control instance visibility, do any of the following:
Click Set All On to make all (except suppressed) instances visible.
Click Set All Off to turn off the display of all instances.
Click individual instance names to toggle their appearance.
Click OK to implement your changes and to close the dialog box.
Your changes apply only to the current viewport and are saved for the duration of the session.
