Solidworks tangent lines in drawings
Solidworks tangent lines in drawings
(OP)
Hello I am new to this site and these forums but I was wondering if someone could help me out. I am using Solidworks 2006 and I am trying to show some iso views of cabinetry for a customer and each of these views are shown in "Shaded with edges" so I can show the wood grain etc. however it also shows the tangent lines in my prints and I don't want that as it can be mis interpreted by the customer for break lines instead of tangency. I have tried the "tangent edges removed" command but that doesn't work in "shaded with edges" view and I would use just shaded but it doesn't look that great.

Also which video card and driver?

First off...welcome. You'll find a lot of professional help in this forum. The guys and gals her are great!
Second, are you sure all the geometry is tagent? You might want to go back and verify that.

No Radeon card is certified for use with SolidWorks. They will work to a degree, but anomalies will be seen sooner or later.
Best I can suggest is to try different drivers to see if that alleviates the problem.

RE: Solidworks tangent lines in drawings
Good news is that it can be done ... in SW2007-SP3.1
Bad news is that I could not do it in SW2006-SP5.1
Time to upgrade!

Look to the right of this webpage and you'll see a MVP list of SW's top dogs. I'm not one of them, but do help out once in a great while. These folks are the Pro's I was talking about.
Also, FYI do a search on past threads to see if your question has been already answered. We hate repeat questions that have been already answered in great detail.
Welcome again!

In your picture it doesn't look like a tangent line to me. It looks like the edges of two parts.
Add the view to a dwg, make shaded, then hide the line per macduff's suggestion.

(FYI--might be a bit of a limitation in an upgrade, but I wouldn't expect to see variable fillets in cabinet design, either.)
