(OP)
Is "surfaces hiding curves" still available in UG?

I realize that this now obsolete, and there are better ways to do things, but I have an unique application where this would be very helpful.

I have looked everyplace that I could, including the documentation, but could not find anything.

RE: NX5 drawing view

Sorry, but that function was removed years ago.  Note however that one part of it does still exist, that part which would first attempt to create surfaces from the 3D curves and then use those surfaces to decide which curves to delete/trim.  You can find this under:

Insert -> Surface -> Sheet from Curves...

Now it's no more capable than it was originally, but there are still some cases where if you have a 3D wireframe model and the part is basically rectilinear, in those cases it's still pretty amazing how much of the job that this little piece of 'magic code' can sometimes do for you.
