Question

Some edges do not display in drawing

In one of our assembly drawings, some models edges are not displayed (that should definately be displayed).


We saw this many years ago, and thought it was fixed, but it seems to have returned.


It happens when some parts of the assembly interfere, but not by a noticable amount.
If we blank the suspect interfering part, the all edges of the rest of the assembly displays correctly.

The missing edges can happen anywhere, and not neccesairily near the region of interfereance.
Sometimes, it is the outermost edges of a part, which really looks wierd.


Has anyone else see this behavior?

I don't intent to bring up a ghost thread, but what about an assembly where a screw is going into a threaded hole. For example, a #8 screw, with a nominal thread dia of .164 goes into a hole feature using UNC table, threaded for a #8 is .136. There is an interference in the assembly. In the ISO view, the hole disappears and the lines for the shaft of the screw. Any tips, tricks or solutions we can use?

Thanks!

I have been thinking about the interferences a lot lately. How about changing one of the interfering parts into a Flexible Part within the assembly?

You could then reduce the offending component to a size that would eliminate the interference in that particular assembly. This would eliminate the hidden line problem in the drawing.

Just pondering the idea.

Interesting, but it won't work if you set your models to READ ONLY before releasing it.
