Explode Lines
Explode Lines
(OP)
Is anyone else having problems with explode lines not appearing on drawings? I am using 2004 2.1 and when I create a drawing and then go back to the model and add explode lines, those explode lines don't appear on the model. It seems that they do appear if the explode lines are added first, and then the drawing is created, but any lines that are added after the drawing is created don't appear on the drawing. Is there a setting somehwere that both me and my var are not aware of? It seems to be a bug, but just checking to see if any has noticed this or has a status on it.






RE: Explode Lines
I just tried this in SP3.0 and it works fine. I made the explode lines in the assembly and they show up in the drawing.
The only thing that I can think of that would cause this, could possibly be View\Sketches but that doesn't turn them off for me. It might be a video issue.
Just a thought.

RE: Explode Lines
Here is the second issue and its work around....The next issue is that once you see them, you will discover they are wrong. The relations in the explode sketch are having a negative effect on their display. This issue has been identified as SPR 123212 'Explode lines (sketch) terminating on circular faces can cause hidden edges to be shown in HLR and can hinder display of explode lines.' Edit the explode line sketch and delete all relations as a work-around to correct the display."
RE: Explode Lines
I don't think I'm seeing that second issue either. The screen shots I sent you, show that I'm picking the circular areas and the explode lines show up fine.

RE: Explode Lines
The screen shots of the assembly you sent me... did that assembly have any empty parts in it? The empty parts are what's causing the explode lines not to appear on a drawing.
