Representations in Drawing (for shaded views)
Representations in Drawing (for shaded views)
(OP)
Hello,
I am using NX8.5.2.3.
When I create Representations in an assembly and same I use to show on drawing with shaded views (Lightweight, Smart Lightweight and Exact etc.)
But the pdf and cgm created by this way do not show the correct results. Is it true that the shaded views are forbidden for representations in drawing?
I am talking about Assemblies → Advance → Representations.
Please see the attached image.

The plot file seems to export in two pieces, one representing the displayed edges, the other the shaded bodies. In files created in previous versions, the rendered portion plots skewed and in the wrong position. GTAC is giving us the run around (plotting guy and Drafting guy arguing on the phone at each other). A similar issue is that we use a tif of our company logo which is embedded in a table for our title blocks. The same issue is occurring here. There was a lot of work put in to the titleblocks previously and now this on every single drawing.
One work around is to export a pdf and plot the pdf. Since that actually works I guess this is different then the problem above. No intention of hijacking the thread but sometimes remotely related problems trigger an idea.
thanks

There is a Drawing for an assembly and assembly has Representation created in it by advance assembly command. And the representation is stored on reference set named as REP.
In drawing I have used REP as reference set for assembly and added isometric view with shading. Now when I export this as pdf or cgm results are not correct. Shaded geometry is not seen as expected.
I have also included the exported pdf in the attachment. Please tell me the reason.
