Hide "undesired" hidden lines in drafting module

Hide "undesired" hidden lines in drafting module

Hide "undesired" hidden lines in drafting module

(OP)
Hi everyone!

I have a question about the NX6 drafting module.

Well, I have a model and a drafting of it. This model has some holes and I want to show them in the drafting, so I tried making hidden lines visible, but it makes all of the hidden lines visible. My question is:

Is there a way to hide all of these undesired lines?
or, is there a way to make only the holes visible?

Thanks!

Although it may take some work, if the model is complex, you can View Dependent edit the undesired hidden lines out.

The trick is to do it in reverse order.
1)  place the view , set all hidden edges set to "yellow" * but visible and solid.  * set the hidden lines to some different color than the visible, preferably non-dashed.
2) do the View dependent edit , edit the holes to dashed font. ( now you can see the difference between the manually edited and the non-edited.)
3) set the view hidden lines to invisible.
  The manually edited stays dashed whilst all other disappears.

Toost,

This is a fantastic tip. I have used this on several occasions already and introduced the technique to others in the shop. Thanks very much. This has saved a bunch of time already and helped me to make better, clearer drawings.
