Curves in drawing view

[st4r]

Hello
Is there a way for NX to treat curve like body in drafting?... So that If the curves or part of the curves are behind the body in some view, then they are hidden. Usually, if you have some component represented just by curves in assembly (e.g. dxf) and you want to show it in drawing, NX shows all curves, as if you can see through body. So far I used view dependent edit to erase curves which are not supposed to be seen. I'm using NX8.5 Thanks.

No, curves do not participate in the computation of hidden lines. If you need to show a curve as being hidden or dashed behind some other part of your model you will need to manually perform what's known as View-Dependent Edits on a curve-by-curve, view-by-view basis.
