Hiding lines in drawings
Hiding lines in drawings
(OP)
I'm really having problems trying to hide lines in drawings.
I have an assembly with 3 layers of 3/4" material stacked on top of each other. In the drawing, I want to show it as 1 2.25" thick slab.
I want to hide the lines that make up the layers. I can't seem to do this. Right clicking on the line, hide/show edges....nothing, the lines remain.
What am I doing wrong here?

So far that only way to get the detail I want, delete the view, is to sketch what I really want, dimension it....then delete the text in the dimension to show what it really should be.
I might as well use Paint....a MUCH better drawing tool.

If you one piece stacked on top of another piece, the thing separating them on your drawing is two lines, not one. When you hide a line, the other one remains.
Usually, I click on one line and hide it. I click on the line again, and hide it.
Failing that, you can go into the model and shift a piece to one side, giving you access to both lines.

Since there are two edges there, sometimes its hard to select the correct one.
Try hiding the component that makes the "filling" of the sandwich in the drawing view. Then hide the edges of the "bread" pieces. Next, hide the "bread" and show the "filling". Hide the edges of the "filling". Then show the bread again.

Having said that, I just did what you want to do.
