Component Display
Component Display
(OP)
Hello all,
I am working in UG NX 8.0
I've got an assembly drawing and what I'm experiencing is a "Superman" view of certain components. I can see components through them, and I can see them through other components.
I checked the view settings and the Hidden line Option is on and set to invisible.
I checked the layer and reference sets and they are all normal. the component in question is on a working layer and is on the "Model" reference set that contains all the geometry in the file.
When attemting to do a View Dependant Edit, the component in question is not selectable. Normally I would throw the component on a different layer and hide it in the drafting view, but this component is partially visible in the view so I cannot just hide it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've got 17 overdue drawings to update and this problem is present in all of them...

RE: Component Display
Open the part file that contains the geometry of the component and run examine geometry. Sometimes drawing strangeness can be traced back to bad geometry in the parts (make sure your part passes all the body checks and the self-intersection face check).
If there is interference between components in your assembly, strange things can happen to the views. Eliminate interferences that are not intentional. If you do happen to have some intentional interference, try turning on the "interfering solids" option to see if it helps.
And finally, at the risk of sounding really obvious, make sure your drawing views are up to date (actually, try this suggestion first, it is the easiest to do).
