show selected tangent edges on drawing

(OP)
I am trying to show only selected tangent edges on a drawing. I have several dimples on a sheetmetal part that are not showing up if I shut off tangent edges in my drawing view. Thanks in advance for the help.

RE: show selected tangent edges on drawing

First turn tangent edges on, I like to show them dimmed or with phantom font so you can recognize them.  Then go to View/Drawing Display/Edge Display and pick TAN SOLID.  Now pick the tangent edges you want to show up.  Once you have set all the edges you want to remain visible, change the view display back to tangent edges none.  The ones you set to solid will still be visible.  You can use the same technique to selectively show hidden lines.
