stray line in drawing

stray line in drawing

stray line in drawing

(OP)
When creating a drawing of a fairly large part or one with a thread cut - I occasionally get some stray lines/curves that appear.  None of them are selectable to "hide" and there doesn't seem to be any feature related to them directly, its seems that they are a result of a complex model or surface (high memory usage driven error perhaps?).  Has anyone dealt with this or found a solution?

RE: stray line in drawing

Try:
View/Hide all types
Does that fix the issue?

nope - its seems to be an anomaly related to the model.

RE: stray line in drawing

Have you tried increasing the image quality model and/or drawing?
 TOOLS - OPTIONS - DOCUMENT PROPERTIES - IMAGE QUALITY

RE: stray line in drawing

No solution, but I see 'em sometimes.  If I turn off cosmetic threads, they go away.

RE: stray line in drawing

In the model, right click on Annotations in tree, unselect everything.

Tried them all - still no luck with this one.  It seems to be an artifact from a surface fill as if I change it's geometry the entity changes as well.

RE: stray line in drawing

  I have an issue on some drawings, where the plot has distorted copies of sketches drawing in a very fine line. This with Version 2004 r3.1 plotting to a HP Designjet 130nr.  I've had it happen on two different drawings created from separate designs.  On the ones where it happens, it does it consistantly.

  Never found a resolution, and just accepted the presence of the stray lines.
