Can not Hide edges in a broken out section
Can not Hide edges in a broken out section
(OP)
I've seen this discussed twice in this forum after doing a keyword search, but haven't found the exact solution to my problem.
I have a hollow cylinder that I've modeled with solid threads down the ID. The threads are rotated boss of a thread tooth sketch, then linearly patterned down the bore so as to give me a visual on how much room between parts fitting inside the bore I can afford with a particular thread pitch.
In the drawing I view the cylider on its side (ie perpendicular to the bore) and make a broken-out section view. I then try to hide the edges of the threads that I'm looking at, but they don't dissappear even after attempts to reload or redraw the part. Re-clicking on the same line only allows me to "show edge". I've also tried "un-breaking" the view and showing all the lines, hiding the lines in question, THEN re-break the view and still nothing. The only thing I've gotten to partically work is by re-booting my computer and then having the ability to hide only SOME of the lines. This is infinitely frustrating, especially since I have no problem hiding the edges in a full blown section view. I've also tried this on other similar parts with the same results. I'm at my wits end. Please Help.

Or
Change the offending line colour to white.
Or
Don't use "thread" in the model, use min dia & cosmetic thread.

RE: Can not Hide edges in a broken out section
I don't know about ANSI standards, but try to follow ISO standards for drawing views is sometimes painful.
I think, until now, the best way is to create configurations as CorBlimeyLimey said: that means hard work for such a "small" improvement in the drawing. But the tip for changing the color to white seems to be a simple alternative. I don't know if they don't show up in printed drawings. I'll give it a try! If they don't show up in printed drawings, it's a nice tip!
Thanks

The thing that really boogles me, is I can hide the edge in a section view. This would tend to mean that I'm not selecting edges on top of the edge I want that have been removed by the section cut. But this won't work for a broken-section view. It's starting to look like a quirk in the programming....
