NX 9 Hidden Lines

[dtm247]

Anyone having trouble with hidden lines in NX 9? Hopefully if this is an error it will be fixed in the next update....

When you say "hidden lines" are you referring to when you're adding views to a Drawing or when working in Modeling and using the 'Wireframe with Hidden Edges' display option? Could you also post an image of what it is that you're seeing so that perhaps we can help figure out what's happening?

In drafting, the hidden lines will not show up for countersunk holes. However, if I bring in a model not created in NX9 it seems to work correctly.

Just toggle ON the 'Self Hidden' option in the 'Format' section of the Common -> Hidden Lines dialog, as shoen below:

This option should ONLY be toggled OFF when there are multiple bodies in a model and you're trying to only show those Hidden Lines that represent the other bodies (check the User Documentation for an example of how and why you'd use this option.
