Shaded views overlapping

Shaded views overlapping

Shaded views overlapping

(OP)
I've got two shaded views of which the boundaries are overlapping. The draft looks ok when printed. When making a PDF the overlapping of one view causes the other view to have a white something.
Above the view out of NX beneath the view out of the PDF.







Any solutions (apart from moving the views dazed)

RE: Shaded views overlapping

There is a workaround but not a good one.
When you export the drawing to pdf, NX will convert the shaded data from the graphics adapter into a static image, one image per shaded view.
These images will then be placed "on the drawing in the pdf" where the lines and arcs are in vector format. The views which has shaded mode will have a white background, not transparent.
In the pdf, the views will be above / below each other. This is the white notch you see on the upper view. In that notch you also see the vectors from the view.

We had a case where it was important to show a shaded view on top of a scanned image. ( a map) I managed to edit the pdf using inkscape and make the shaded view, which was on top of the scanned image, transparent. Thereby the result was as expected. ( Else the shaded view obscured the scanned image.)


Regards,
Tomas
