Pro/Engineer Feature Edge Displays

Pro/Engineer Feature Edge Displays

Pro/Engineer Feature Edge Displays

(OP)
When two features in a part either interfere or butt up against one another, the contacting edge is no longer displayed. That is, if you model two separate cubes that share a face, it will be represented as a single block. Is there a way to prevent this?

I don't know if it's a display option or a feature option or what, but I want that line to be displayed in the part and in a drawing. Is that possible or will I have to go to an assembly?

Thanks

RE: Pro/Engineer Feature Edge Displays

It is not possible to split a solid surface in Pro/E.  You can add a separate surface feature.  If this is just for visualization, you may want to offset the surface slightly.  Overlapping surfaces in Pre/E will show a banded coloring in a shaded view.

The Help for this program was created in Windows Help format, which depends on a feature that isn't included in this version of Windows.
 

RE: Pro/Engineer Feature Edge Displays

If you are only interested in the visual aspect of it then you can try projecting a curve at or on the area of interest and change the line style and color to your liking.  ProE will automatically create a single feature out of two and merge them and there is no way around it.

And just an FYI there is the ability to split surfaces in the flexible modeling extension in Creo 1.0.  For a while it was available without the FMX license and it was rather useful but it now requires the $1500 extension.  

Hope that helps,
