intersection line missing in 2D engineering drawing
intersection line missing in 2D engineering drawing
(OP)
I found that the intersection lines are missing in 2D engineering drawing. In 3D models the missing of intersection lines are acceptable due to the shade difference of two bodies, but in 2D engineering drawing, it is very obvious. Any way to correct it?
Thanks. This forum is very helpful. And I hope you are not annoyed by this kind of basic questions.

However, if you need a solid demarkation, you could add a 120° csk to the hole. The csk should be the same dia or slightly larger than the thread OD ... so that the edge shows. It would also represent the lead-in of the thread.
Give further details, or post a screenshot, if the above is not the case.

A = sphere surface body of radius 1 center at origin
B = cylinder surface body of radius 0.5 and length of 2 center at origin
A and B would have 2 intersection lines. That is the intersection line I am looking for, but is missing in 2D engineering drawing

Or, you could use the Trim Surfaces tool to cut away the surface cylinder from inside the sphere, then the intersection lines will show.

If this is in a part, then I suspect that you have two bodies that are not merged. If you merge them the line will be present.

The intersection curve can be used to generate a curve, but to display this curve I would also need to turn all other sketches on, which is not desired.
So it seems no solution now.

Second ... Why do you need to turn all other sketches on to display the intersection curve? Individual sketches can be shown in a drawing view ... just expand the feature, RMB click on the sketch & select Show.

second question: it is true that each sketch can be individually adjusted, I just learned this. The trouble with this is that, sketch line will be always regardless of viewing angle.
I think the fundamental issue is that I was trying to "cheat" the software by overlapping two surface bodies in space. So I took a step back, and really dug out a cylinder out of the sphere before putting them together.
