Layers in Solid Edge

Layers in Solid Edge

Layers in Solid Edge

(OP)
I have an entity that I need in the drawing, but DON'T want to show up on the print. An associate has suggested putting the entity on a layer and turning off the layer. Sounds good, but neither of us knows enough about "Layers in Solid Edge" to make it work.

The entity is an automated section line, that develops a view we use on another sheet. We don't want the section line itself to show up. How do we put it on the layer we created?

HELP says that you click on an entity and click on the layer in the Edge Bar, and it will change. It doesn't seem to. The layer stays greyed out, and the visibility options for the layer stay greyed out, so we can't seem to change the visibility, even if the entity changed its layer.

Thanks!

RE: Layers in Solid Edge

What I think you are after then is to basically hide the section cutting plane?

If so then you do not need to create a layer you can just hide this line.

To do this:

1. Right click o the section view.
2. Click properties.
3. There should be a check box with the following text:
      "Show view anootation (custting plane, detail     envelope, viewing plane"
4. Un-check.

This should then hide the cutting plane.
