"Hidden" view with solids

"Hidden" view with solids

"Hidden" view with solids

(OP)
I'm working with the same file (all solids) on two different machines both running ACAD 2002.

On one, when I'm in "Hidden" view, it does just that. I only see the visible edges of the solid parts. On the other machine, though, I also see a bunch of lines connecting various edges to other edges. It's pretty annoying.

Is there a setting to turn that off?

RE: "Hidden" view with solids

If I understand right, it sounds like a display silhouette.

Try this,
command:  DISPSILH

and change the value...either (0 or 1)

Dizzy, thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, that didn't seem to make the difference.

RE: "Hidden" view with solids

If it curved objects, try ISOLINES=0

Here's a little bit more info.

The issue arises upon the command "shademode _h", not on "hide" command.

To be more descriptive, here's an example.

I have a block with a bolt-hole pattern in it. There are many lines connect the holes together along the X & Y axes, and connecting the holes to the corners of the block.

I see them on a machine running Win 2K but not on the machine running Win XP. I don't know any details about graphics cards, etc.
