NX8.5 Drafting bugged wireframe

NX8.5 Drafting bugged wireframe

NX8.5 Drafting bugged wireframe

(OP)
Hi

I'm having a somewhat similar problem to:

I have a drafting where some geometry is partly transparent through a solid object. I cannot select the lines to do some manual edits, to remove them, so no easy fix to the glitch. Setting the model to wireframe only makes the problem worse, as all the hidden lines now cuts through the solid object. I want to have a drafting representation looking like the 3D model, just with normal contour lines like any other 2D drawing.

A screendump of the overlapping "wireframe"-like glitch:

For reference is a screen dump of the 3D model here, from the modeling application, where everything is fine:

I'm using NX 8.5 and the curved parts are made using the sheet metal application.

RE: NX8.5 Drafting bugged wireframe

Can you upload this example ?
( Or if you export the model Parasolid, open in NX and cut away 3/4 leaving one of the troublesome upper corners. )

Difficult to say anything without a closer look.

Tomas

RE: NX8.5 Drafting bugged wireframe

I opened the files. Air duct 1 is "corrupted" and cannot be opened. I guess that it is the left-right plates. -does not matter for this case..

I created a drawing and added a similar view. Got the same errors as you got.
I tried to set the air duct_6 lofted flange to " use multi segment bends" = off.
The drawing view then becomes correct .

I think this is a case for GTAC.

In Sheet metal design or Modeling, these intermediate edges cannot be selected. Only the outermost edges can be selected.
Which in drafting explains why you cannot do the view dependent edit etc.

I tested the same in NX10.0.2, same result.

Call Gtac....

Tomas

Thank you for your reply.

I had some troubles exporting the parts out of the system, that is why the parts may have become corrupted.

Best regards
