Details

Components disappear and reappear at positions where they are normally not expected whilst zooming in and out of specific assembly documents.  Why is this and how to resolve?



Solution

Under certain circumstances (especially when using Assembly Features), the various cached levels of detail used for displaying models can lose their transform state.  Since the cached data is not able to interactively detect these discrepancies, the parts appear to move or shift whilst zooming in and out.  

Some of the workflow scenarios where these disconnects can occur have been addressed in subsequent releases and additional logic has been added in Solid Edge 2020 to enhance automatic detection of save models. 

However, as a workaround for existing use cases, the following workflow should rectify the situation:


  1. Open the assembly document that displays these symptoms.
  2. Activate all occurrences of the assembly.
  3. Press CTRL+SHIFT+'Refresh View' (View > Orient > Refresh View) to force a re-tessellation of all cached data.
  4. Execute a 'Save All' to update the persistent data saved with each part file.
