Extra cuves in drafting??
Extra cuves in drafting??
(OP)
I have a problem that is wasting alot of time.
Alot of the parts we model have numerous tapped holes in them so in order to keep the part navigator to a min. we use alot of arrays and mirrors.
When I go to detail these parts I get alot of extra curves around the tapped hole area that are sillouhettes of tapped holes. I have to do a view dependant edit to get rid of them which take a long time since there are usually 10-15 extra curves scattered about the hole. And these curves are not visible in modeling.
We use the simplified thread setting in modeling and drafting and we are using NX2.
Thanks

You can turn it off by default using Preferences -> View, select the General tab & turn off Silhouettes followed by OK. I think you can also edit the ug_english/metric.def file & do the same. Keep in mind that if you edit the .def file, the changes will not take effect until the next time you start UG.

Either way it did not take care of the original problem.

And they did not go away in the top view....???

1. I'm assuming this view that is giving you problems is a side view or something similar. What are you trying to hide as far as the extra curves you're seeing? Are they curves of overlapping holes or are they extra curves shown on ALL the holes? Are you just wanting to see certain holes & not others in this particular view?
2. Are you using just a normal orthographic view? If you are, then there is not much you can do to hide certain features from the view while still showing the others. This is where a section view would probably be more appropriate IF you can still reasonably show the part as needed. UG has some great sectioning capabilities.
