I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.6.0

Tangent Lines are not visible when model display is set to wireframe or hidden line display style -

When I view my models in wireframe or hidden, the tangent lines of a cylindrical feature are invisible.

Maybe you need this setting in your config.pro:

 

display_silhouette_edges yes

Cylinders do not have tangent edges that would show up in Creo as such. Post a picture if the issue. If no tangent lines are visible there could be multiple causes for this.

 

All lines of a cylinder in wireframe are visible lines not tangent edges.

Here is a hollow cylinder I modeled and here is how it is displayed in various display states.
