Generative Drafting Workbench - Hidden Lines Show

Generative Drafting Workbench - Hidden Lines Show

Generative Drafting Workbench - Hidden Lines Show

(OP)
Hello everybody-

In Generative Drafting Workbench, Is it possible to show the hidden lines of ONLY a particular feature (may be pocket,slot,hole) or selected set of internal (hidden) features ?

I hope everybody understood my question.


Regards,

Himanshu

RE: Generative Drafting Workbench - Hidden Lines Show

Sounds like you're asking about a part drawing, not an assembly drawing?

If you can move the features into their own Body or Geom Set, you can use Modify Links to represent those features with hidden lines.

Hi! Jackk,

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I am asking about a part drawing.
But, when we make ON the hidden lines option from the View Properties Dialog Box, it is applied to the entire view.
Also this internal features are cut from the external ones, so they have the parent/child relationship, so how can I move this feature to another part body ?

Regards,
Himanshu

Hi

As jackk said. Try to put desired feature into new body (rightclick on i.e. pocket, pad, hole etc. and insert in new...) Then you can set hidden lines only for this body.

Thanks, Telcontar for your reply.
Actually i m back after a long time, m sorry for that bigsmile

I tried your solution but when i say right click & insert in new then it do creates a new body but keeps within the same parent body with the boolean feature assemble in it.
As a result of which, I cannot eliminate the new body created with internal shape with modify links, since it comes within the same part body.
All the internal (female) shape becomes external (male) as well.

I hope you understood this.smile

Thanks in advance to advise about the above query.


Regards,
Himanshu
