Hide internal thread surface in drawing
Hide internal thread surface in drawing
(OP)
Hi,
I'm making some drawings in pro engineer starting from 3D part files. I want to hide threaded holes in the drawing. But when i hide the layer with the holes, only the outer diameter is hided, and the included thread surface is still there. How do i hide it?
I also tried with hide/show, but it has the same effect.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Deleting the surface in the part file is not a option, because i need it in another drawing.

RE: Hide internal thread surface in drawing
HLR_FOR_QUILTS YES from Tools - Options
Check the following posted by user alibahadir at
hlr_for_quilts in section
Here is the solution for that offered by Ptc
Hidden line removal is known as not working in X-section views containing quilts which usually come with vendor parts.
In order to enable the HLR settings for X-section views (by the view settings or by the default settings with config.pro option 'hlr_for_quilts' set to YES), there are two requirements:
1. the dtl (drawing config.pro) setup option 'show_quilts_in_total_xsecs' MUST be set to 'yes' (the default is 'no')
2. the cross section MUST be created using the option 'Model & Qlts' for the cross section definition

But this is not what i need. The view is not a section. So i guess that's the reason it doesn't work for me.
The threaded hole is for example M8x1,25 with thread surface included > extra surface with diameter 6,8. When i hide the hole in the drawing, the surface with diameter 8 is hided, but the one with diameter 6.8 not.
