Revision Drawings and Tangent Edges
Revision Drawings and Tangent Edges
(OP)
Our department is having real problems with Solidworks 2005 in terms of creating and editing drawings. The main problem being when we wish to revise a drawing. e.g. we have already created a part and its drawing, then when we modify the part it modifies the drawing. However, we wish to keep our original drawing as Issue A and save the modified drawing as Issue B. How do we achieve this? If we modify the part both drawings will change, is there any way round this? Or do we need to save the part as an alternative part and create a new drawing?
Another major problem we have is that we draw our drawings with tangent edges and hidden lines removed. However, we still require to hide some tangent edges that show up. This has not really been a problem until recently when I modified a part which inturn modified the drawing. All the tangent edges re-appeared even though the drawings settings still had them removed and now it will not let me hide them. This is really frustrating.
Can anyone help me with these problems?
It would be much appreciated.
