AutoCAD MEP

[#1]

Hello,

I have another visual problem with showing the ducts/pipes. I prepared layouts for ploting. 3 layouts: ducts, pipes, ducts+pipes.

On the layout with ducts+pipes together, crossings of the ducts and pipes are correct, i can see the hidden lines. The problem is, that when i turned off the ducts from the layout with pipes only, the hidden lines of the pipes stayed... I mean the ducts are not visible, but the hidden lines of the pipes which were under the ducts are on. And i would like to see them as "not hidden". In the attached files you can see what i mean.

1 attached file - shows ducts and pipes together

2 attached file - shows pipes after i froze the layer with ducts.

Anyone can help here?

After you switch off the layers you want to not be shown, run OBJRELUPDATE and select the whole drawing.

If these models are Xref'd into a finished layout drawing, OBJRELUPDATE will need to be run each time the drawing is opened.

This is a recognised problem and is being investigated (see earlier post in this forum regarding OBJRELUPDATE)

Hope that helps,

Stu

That solved my problem for the moment. It is not perfect (why not automaticly) but as it is reported already than we may expect it will be fixed.

Thank you for your answer
