NX4 hidden lines for overlapping drafting views
NX4 hidden lines for overlapping drafting views
(OP)
In NX4, if you have two drafting views (containing solid geometry), and one is partially 'overlapping' the other, is there an 'automatic' method to declare which view is on top and the other view would show hidden for the overlapping portion? Without performing an unassociative view dependent edit? Thanks.

No, I don't think that there is any way to automatically accomplish what you need. As far as the drawing is concerned, neither view is on top or bottom. This is something that may have to be solved in the model, not the drawing.

You could however create a single view comprising both sets of geometry and have some of the components displayed with hidden lines and others without. This may achieve a more usual requirement that falls in line with ordinary drafting expectations.
