Detailing Drawings
Detailing Drawings
(OP)
Two detailing questions..
1.) Is there a way in my solidworks drawing to fix the arrow of a leader line to a part of my model so that when I change my model the leader will "follow the change" and remain attached to the item I want?
2.) Is it possible to mirror hidden lines that my model has created? Or do I have to manually draw them in?
Thanks Again!

2) Hidden lines are created from features which exist in the model. To show all hidden lines in a view, first select the view then select the Hidden Lines Visible icon in the View toolbar. An individual features hidden line detail can be shown by RMB clicking the feature in the View Manager then selecting Show/Hide > Show Hidden Edges.

2. Mirror hidden lines? Pardon me, but huh? The hidden lines are created automatically. If it doesn't have hidden lines, then you have hidden lines off or there aren't any lines to be shown. Why would you like to create hidden for something that isn't there? Please clarify.

If it still shows too many hidden lines....you could try some other things. If there aren't too many hidden lines...you can show the "Line Format" toolbar...there is a tool to hide and show model edges. Then hide the extra ones. Another technique is to toggle on all hidden lines...then select the hidden lines you want and use the "Convert Entities" sketch tool to extract the edge to a sketch line. Then use the Line Format Toolbar to make the sketch lines the hidden linetype.
