not shown lines in drafting

not shown lines in drafting

RE: not shown lines in drafting

Double click your view and go to the General tab. Find your view tolerance and change it to a tighter value.

RE: not shown lines in drafting

Yes, adjust the view tolerance to see if that helps,
but it also could be due to interfering solid bodies

RE: not shown lines in drafting

(OP)
In general tab there was no tolerance, I changed the tolerance in configuration tab but it didnt help.

This is funny but those lines became visible when I changed un the "Representation" from "Exact" to "Smart Lightweight". I would think that exact option should include more details than lightweight :)

RE: not shown lines in drafting

I am almost certain that you have interfering solid bodies there

jerry1423; there is no interfering bodies, there is only one rail which I downloaded from supplier`s webpage.

RE: not shown lines in drafting

If you have a nut and a bolt assembled together, I believe that is an interfering body. From your image, I see quite a few bodies which could fit this description. If you're in mm units, set your view tolerance to something really tight - like 0.01mm or less. See what that looks like. If that doesn't do the trick, you'll have to go to the Hidden Lines tab and turn on (put a check in the box) for Process Interfering Solids so that the intersection lines will appear. This can eat up memory while processing, so be sure to save the part FIRST in case it locks up your computer completely.

If that doesn't work, that I am aware, the only other alternative is manually drawing in the intersection lines in that particular view.

RE: not shown lines in drafting

Try this:
In View Style go to the "hidden lines" tab, and under "Interfering Solids" check "yes, Without Interfering Solids" or "yes, With Interfering Solids"
Very often this will solve the problem of missing lines.
