How to hide sweep profile in drawings

[efrey]

Hello,

I have a helical sweep and a swept blend that show up in my drawings regardless of what layers I hide. Is there a trick to hiding these so they don't show up in the "no hidden" view?

Thanks!

Did you try hiding the feature in the model?

I need the feature to be present in other views on the sheet.

You can layer the feature in the model and selectively hide the layer per view in the drawing.

Thanks for the suggestion but I don't think that gets me what I need. In the snapshot below I cannot hide the sweep features or the entire geometry will go away. I need a way of forcing the no hidden view...

Have you tried creating a rule based layer that grabs all curves? You could then hide that layer. Not sure if they are cosmetics or other, but if you can gather them on a layer you can hide them. Here is a sample layer that collects curves.

If you pick the edit rules you can create rules to grab the desired entities.

I did a video on these in a previous life:

We suffered a similar issue not so long ago.

Try setting the config.pro option 'mesh_spline_surf' set to no.

Good luck

WHOO HOOO!

Thanks for all the replies, changing the config setting did the trick. I would have never have found that one! Below is the image with the fix implemented for reference;
