Render Sets (Drafting)
Render Sets (Drafting)
(OP)
I'm creating a drawing of an assembly and I want to make one part in the assembly have phantom lines. I used render sets to make the lines in that component phantom, but when I did so, the edges that were previously hidden (because another component was blocking it from view) are now showing up as phantom lines. I currently have "edges hidden by edges" selected, which seems to only hide the edges that are hidden by other edges in the component with phantom lines, it isn't hiding the edges that are behind the solid line components. The component with phantom lines is behaving correctly and the component with solid lines is behaving correctly, but they aren't working correctly together (I'm seeing phantom lines that should be hidden by my solid components as well as solid lines that should be hidden by my phantom component). It seems like this should be a simple fix. Any help is appreciated.

RE: Render Sets (Drafting)
Instead of using render sets, have you tried to click on the component, and edit>object display>linefont>phantom? This changes the whole solid model component to phantom. The hidden lines will be invisible/dashed per your preference, while the solid object itself will come in phantom. I just tried it on my assembly. Cake!

I also facing with the problem mcclark described above. Have not found solution for this yet.

In the Visible Lines tab under View Style make sure the font (middle pull-down) is set to Original
and then it will appear as phantom on the drawing

If you are making only one component phantom in certain view then go into the model space of the assembly drawing and change it to the display of the model to phantom (and probably thin line width) in there.
In the view(s) that you want that object to show as phantom in the Visible Lines tab under View Style make sure the font (middle pull-down)
is set to Original (top choice) You may want to do a similar thing to the line width (next pull-down menu to the right) so that it comes in as Original (so the phantom lines come in thin)
In the view(s) that you want that object to show as solid in the Visible Lines tab under View Style make sure the font (middle pull-down)
is set to Solid Line (second from the top choice)

If that doesn't work for whatever reason, I'll wave a copy of the solid onto a different layer, and change the edge font of that to phantom for those views.
