Summary


Details

--------------- 
Layer information shows "set on component member".



Solution

 In this case the user has an assembly and a component on Layer 1. The 
component contains a sketch. While in the assembly the user then moved the 
Sketch curve from Layer 1 to layer 20, now when the user performs an 
Information --> Object and selects the sketch curve it states; 


 Layer 20 set on component member


The components entity itself can be moved to different layers, as well as its 
members. The component entity can have many component members, solid bodies, 
lines, arcs, points, etc.. those members can be moved to other layers, and 
this can get confusing if your not familiar with the assembly.


The layer information for a component member, it will read "inheritied from 
component" meaning that when the component was added to the assembly, layer 1 
was the work layer, so the members will also be on layer 1.


If the user moves a member to layer 2 using the Type Filter, then the layer 
information for that entity will now read "set on component member". This is 
saying that the component member is set on layer 2, and its no longer 
inherited from the component. 


The only way to fix that would be to remove the component and re-add the 
component, then the sketch curves will now be inherited from component.
