Hidden intersecting lines in break out view

Hidden intersecting lines in break out view

Hidden intersecting lines in break out view

(OP)
I am using NX7.5 and have a very complicated assembly and I really need a view of the cross section of a roller install.  I was able to achieve this view using a broken view followed by a breakout view.  Now I have intersecting lines showing from the holes created for the grease fitting.  I would really like to have these lines hidden without changing the way the feature was created.  I am attaching a photo.   

Thanks in advance,
Andrew

RE: Hidden intersecting lines in break out view

With something like that your best bet is to manually 'remove' the undesired curves using...

Edit -> View -> View Dependent Edit...

...then selecting the view and in the 'Add Edits' list of options, select the first icon, labeled 'Erase Object'.  Now select the curves you wish to remove and hit OK.
