Blank and unblank work in dwg modeling mode but not work in dwg drafting mode

Hi
These pictures shows that
Blank and unblank work in dwg modeling mode but not work in dwg drafting mode
Please can anyone Help to explaine why.

parts also atouched.

Thanks in advanced





and this is the views style

When upload I get this err.

Server Error in '/' Application.

Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".



<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>


Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.



<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>

RE: Blank and unblank work in dwg modeling mode but not work in dwg drafting mode

I think we need the files to understand the question.
the "e1_connector " is that the green card we see in the images ?
You show two screenshots of 3d model, and then the "View style" dialog which is used for drawing views. I do not understand the connection here.

Regards,
Tomas

Thank you Tomas

yes the two screenshots of 3d model are drawing modeling mode

and here is drawing drafting mode



as you see the "e1_connector" is a component that contain curves only a circles group
and in drawing modeling mode has no efect on the "e1_connector" (blank unblack no work)
but on "e1_cylinder" that is a component of a solid cylinder the blank unblack work on drawing modeling mode

but in drawing modeling mode both "e1_connector" and "e1_cylinder" the blank unblack work

I tryied again to upload and get the above erroe.

RE: Blank and unblank work in dwg modeling mode but not work in dwg drafting mode

Did you try update the view on the drawing , after you did the Hide ( Blank) on the e1_connector ?

When changes have occurred on the Model, NX should normally recognize this and show the "clock" on the view and the drawing in the Part Navigator, but i have seen that if the change is curves only and not solid bodies, the clock might not appear.

Right click the view - Update .

does this help ?

Tomas

RE: Blank and unblank work in dwg modeling mode but not work in dwg drafting mode

(OP)
Yes that help
Thank you very much
because the solid component not need this
Update I don't think it for the curves component.

Do you know why this behavior.

Thank you Tomas.

RE: Blank and unblank work in dwg modeling mode but not work in dwg drafting mode

(OP)
I think Siemens should take a thought about it.
Do solid component has two representations
And curves component has only one representation.

I seen some posts that don't trust the new exact
view style new in nx8.5 version.

RE: Blank and unblank work in dwg modeling mode but not work in dwg drafting mode

When you place a view on a drawing, NX will copy all the visible edges of the solid , the copies will be curves, lines , arcs etc
Pre V9 this had an option of it's own in the View Style Dialog, "Extracted edges".
After V9 I have not seen this option and I assume the extracted edges are mandatory.

One of the reasons for the extracted edges is that you can open the drawing only ( No need to load the assembly) and continue working, add annotation , print/plot/pdf/DXF etc

This is also part of the reason you need to update the drawing views, if a change has occurred NX needs to re-evaluate what is visible and what is not.
(plus the calculations to find out what edges should be hidden and made dashed or invisible.)
IF the model is large/complex etc the update can or will take computing time and you will therefore have to do a manual "update views".
If you only do small/simple models you can set NX to do an automatic update as soon as you enter the Drafting application.

Model Curves are by default not part of these calculations, ( they can be by toggling the "include model curves" option in the view style dialog)
i therefore assume that the curves aren't copied in the "extracted edges step".

Tomas
