Random Hidden Lines

[mykeo]

Hi,

I am new to NX and I am currently working with NX6. I have a pretty decent background with many cad systems but I have never seen something like this. Nx likes to do this to me randomly. It may be this line it may be a different line in a different location but lines start just disappearing. I try to edit them back in... but I can even select them. They are basically just gone. I make that specific part my displayed part and its totally fine. It seems only to happen in the drafting portion of NX6. Is there a way to call the line back up or have the system pay particular attention to that line so when it updates the drawing it looks for that line in particular or is this particular NX version very buggy? I have included a screen shot.

Thanks,

Mike

Your attachement is not working. Could please try again?

Even without seeing the picture of your problem I'm going to make a wild guess and suggest that you select the Drawing view(s) where you're seeing these incorrect Hidden Lines, press MB3 and select the 'Style' option. Now on the 'Hidden Lines' tab, toggled on either one of the 'Yes' options in the section of the dialog labeled 'Interfering Solids' and then hit the OK button at the bottom of the page. Now update all of the Drawing views and see if this helped. If it's better but still not quite right, go back and select the other 'Yes' option in that 'Interfering Solids' section of the View Style dialog.

Do the same as John has mentioned about go to the view style and then general tab. Try changing your view tolerance to a little bit tighter. Say .0005 instead of .010252.

Thank you!

The Hidden lines with Interference curves worked! I also did try the view tolerance and that didnt seem to do much rather just make the picture clearer. So now I can see the line and have a perfect picture.

Thanks!
