Objects disappearing from drawing! 1

[SilasH]

I'm making a drawing from an assembly that has a few arrays of rivets and screws in it. Some of them show up fine, but some of the rivets don't completely appear, i.e. missing the rivet head. I've made assemblies with more toolbox parts in them before, and the rivets show up fine in the assembly and the sub-assembly they're in. Any suggestions?

Silash...please state what SW version and SP you are using. Have you tried changing the view from a shaded to wireframe just to see what happens? Can you right click on the part in the assy? Do they appear in the tree display?

Sorry, I guess I wasn't all that specific. I'm running SW 2007 2.0. The only time the rivet part doesn't show is when it's in hidden lines removed. It's even visible in hidden lines visible, and not as a hidden line (and it's not a hidden line). I even recreated the drawing with some modifications I needed to make, and it's got the same problem.

what are you computer specs including Video card and driver version being used. Look in the FAQ to figure out all that info if you don't know.

Verify that there is no interference between the rivet and the hole. Often if there is interference, edges will disappear in the drawing.

Looks like it was an interference problem. Smartmates got messed up along the way somewhere. Thanks Shaggy!
