Hidden lines in draft

Hidden lines in draft

Hidden lines in draft

(OP)
SE v18

Is there a way to remove some hidden lines from a drawing view without removing all of the hidden lines. I have tried bring it into the drawing again, but it removes all hidden lines and I need some, but not all.

RE: Hidden lines in draft

Yes, there is a way :

- right click on the view
- choose 'draw in view'
- then, in the vertical toolbar, use the icon 'hide edges' and click on the unwanted lines.

HTH,

Fred

Further to Fred's posting,
You can selectively show hidden and tangent edges on views by using the 'show edges' command (it's on the fly-out with hide edges). This will over-ride the hidden/tangent line visibility of the view for the lines selected.

And don't forget you have the two types of hidden edges in assemblies - hidden edges and edges hidden by other parts.

Instead of selecting all the parts in the parts list, you may want to select the parts individually and uncheck the hidden edge style/edges hidden by other parts.

You can also use the "edge painter" command, when it's on you can change the lines from visible to hidden or visible reference etc. and you have a nice little options on the ribbon bar that permits to change only a segment of a line.
