I have used the "use edge" option in pro/engineer detailing to make some draft entities and i have filled them, but when after saving i reopen the drawing the fill disappears and i have to again "fill" the sketch.this is very annoying..am i doing something wrong?

I just tried this in Creo 2.0 M030. Made a simple triangle sketch on the drawing, right click and hatch/fill. Used the fill option, saved, closed, erased non-displayed, re-open the drawing and the fill was still there.

I don't see options for Use Edge in Creo 2.0. Either the selected features are hatchable or not by the state of the hatch/fill button (grayed out or active).

What version are you using?

thank you so much for your reply. i forgot to mention two things :

1. i am using Pro/Engineer Wildfire 4.0

2. the above mentioned issue only happens when multiple draft entities are filled with one hatch/fill option.

one more thing...use edge is available in the "sketch" option of creo 2.0 detailing

I love this forum. I learn all kinds of new things. It just says "Edge" in the menu

Yep, Filling the sketch of two closed loops from separate view in a single section works fine in Creo 2.0 M030. Saved, closed, erased, re-open... 2 filled boundries just like I left it.

Did you check if it is controlled by any layer status? Or the spacing may be too large to display.. Check these since your problem is unusual..
