Help...Section view on assembly drawing issue

Hi all,

I have an issue where on a 2D assembly drawing, the view shows lines that shouldn't be there.

It's not all lines, some are not visible but some are - see the attached example.

How do i stop this happening?

It's probably an easy fix.....

Can't view this because we can't open .docx files from outside sources.

If you're doing a view of an assembly and lines that should be there are not, or vice versa, it can usually be one of these things:

(1) There's interference between two parts. For example, a pin is 0.5000 diameter, but the hole it's going into is 0.4990 diameter. Creo will decide to omit lines at the interference, but not consistently.

(2) Sections that have been defined in previous versions of Creo, maybe even a previous build code, will not interpret section views correctly. It might be the definition of the view direction in the part/assembly. Unfortunately, I usually find that the only way to fix this is to take the section out of the view, finish editing the view properties, then edit the view properties again and add the section back in. I hate it, but it usually works.

What does the model look like with the section active?  A screen shot of the model would help us to determine what is going on.

 

Is everything solid?

There is always more to learn.

This part looks like it has cosmetic thread lines which are visible, not the solid lines

Is it possible there is a cosmetic thread there? Or any other line that would show up on the wireframe?

Yes, there is a cosmetic thread there.

Try hiding the cosmetic thread, see what happens, and if you have to put it on layer and hide it.
