Cannot Remove Surface From Drawing

[nhall]

Hi,

I have imported a parasolid, which contains some inserts that have been interpreted as surfaces. An issue arises when I come to make the drawing. The inserts are permanently shown in every orientation. The below image shows what it looks like (this is not a section view) and I have tried the normal method of erasing the line using Edge Display but no cooperation from creo.

As this is a parasolid, it is all imported as a singular item so am unable to delete the individual faces/bodies.

Is there anything I am not thinking of?

Cheers,

Nick

You can set it so those surfaces are hidden in your layer tree.  If there is not already a layer for them, just create a layer with the surfaces on it and then hide that layer and save the display status.

Although it is acting like a surface, my model tree only contains an imported feature so no surfaces are actually selectable.

Switch over to your layer tree.

Create a new layer.

Add the surfaces to your new layer (it might help to utilize your selection filter).

Then hide the new layer, and save the layer status.

You may be able to just select the import feature to add to the layer...

Either way its probably only a single click for selection, and by selecting the quilt, rather than the whole import feature, it won't hide associated datums.

Got it! I didn't think it would let me select it as a quilt, as I thought creo thought it was combined with the rest of the solid body. created a new layer, quilt selection filter then selected the two inserts. Sorted!

Thanks
