How can I Show construction geometry when placing parts that do not have a design body?
Solution
From Solid Edge Option assembly tab under 'Construction Display Options when Placing Component' check option 'Show construction geometry when placing parts that do not have a design body'.
When checked, display the construction geometry for a part that does not have a design body. If there are construction surfaces in the part, show construction surfaces, if there are no construction surfaces then show construction curves, if there are no construction curves and surfaces then show sketches, and if none of the above, then show the co-ordinate system associated with the part (this will override the option to show/hide coordinate system). This is checked by default.
