Hide section view reference cut lines
Hide section view reference cut lines
(OP)
Is there anyway to hide the section view cut line in SW 2006? In standard pressure vessle detailing each nozzle is simply labeled "DETAIL NOZZLE A" etc. The drawing is not cluttered with section cut lines for each nozzle. It would not be uncommon to have over 100 section views to get all required details. Currently a work around is to create extra views off the paper to cut the scetion and drag the view to the drawing. This is time consuming. In Inventor there is simply a switch to hide the section cut line and/or section label. I have found nothing similar in SW. Without getting into a debate about standards (PV's and tanks have been detailed in the same manner for decades and our customer specifications for the required ACAD drawing format are not likely to change anytime soon) are there any easier work arounds? For example could layers be used and somehow hidden prior to plot similar to AutoCAD? Any ideas appreciated.

My 2 cents? Create dwgs per real standards, not ACAD standards.
Look in SW Help. Yes, you can use layers.

No offense intended, because your input in the SWX and GD&T forums has been and continues to be extremely valuable, but the OP specifically asked not to get into a discussion of standards.
That being said, I will offer the following (rhetorical) question:
If jlcochran1 always makes drawings to the letter of whatever standard (ASME, ISO, etc.) is deemed appropriate, but they are not to the customer's liking/standards, what is the probability of continuing business with said customer?
As I said, this question is rhetorical because I have no intention of continuing this discussion in this thread - apologies to jlcochran1 for the slight hijack......

So what you are doing now, is probably the only way you are going to get around this issue.

I did not want to get into the standards discussion.
Thanks.
I tried changing the section line to a new layer, then turned off the layer. Section line gone.

No problem. It wasn't my intention to bash you by any means. You've proven once again that your input is very valuable by providing a solution to the initial problem.
I think we've all seen a ton of threads get WAYYYYYY off topic without any resolution to the original question and was trying to head that off. This forum continues to be my best avenue to get SWX questions answered and I would hate to jeopardize that by discouraging responses with postings of my own.
