Drafting Lines Disappear when using "visable in view"
Drafting Lines Disappear when using "visable in view"
(OP)
Hi all,
First off, I am using NX5 and every part in my file is a solid created in NX5. No translations. No surfaces.
I am using the "visible in view" command to illustrate the clamping procedures for a mulit-clamp operation.
Think shop floor setup instructions.
I achieve this by putting each set of clamps on it's own layer and then I choose the appropriate layers to show using "visible in view". Simple, yes?
However, for some reason UG is having a hard time making some of the view. See attached file.
You can see that when I turn on the "clamp" layer, the part view goes wonky.
And yes, I did update the drawing view. :)
Any ideas on why this may be happening? these are not complex parts at all; it is very simple geometry.
Thanks,
J

I figured it out.
It had to do with interfering solids.
I rounded my clamp design to X.XXX" decimal places,
This caused the assy to interfere by a few tenths.
