Lines disappear from IDW

After I create my views in the IDW,
I can watch as many of the lines,
mostly hidden, will disappear.
I have an ATI Fire GL E1 video card,
is this the problem or is it something else?

This is a bug and AutoDesk was already aware of
it.

Aren't hidden lines meant to
disappear?

 

Check your view definition

 

What probably happens is that your views are
getting "precise"

Are you taking about lines from a part you made
reference in "Occurance"?

What does "precise" mean.
Can I keep this from happening?

When IV first creates a view, it is only a "rough draft" of the geometry. When
it goes precise, a background application takes over to finalize it. This
enables you to continue placing views and annotation while IV is doing heavy
number crunching. This is a good thing. You can change how the view looks by
clicking on the different icons in the Place View dialog. They look like
cylinders. They allow you to switch between shaded, hidden line shown and hidden
line removed modes. Click on the hidden line shown icon to do what you want.

BTW, you can stop Precise View creation, but I would not recommend it.

P.S. ATI cards are known to be bad with Inventor. You will probably run into
problems down the road with it. Quadro4 cards are recommended, especially any
above 550.

It happens to any IDW file after I create my base or projected views. I'm not sure what you mean by, "reference in occurance". I do have the style set to show all hidden lines. All the lines do appear at first, but then disappear. If I can quickly saveas it will retain all the data in the copy.

If you have a part model that exhibits the problem and can post it you could
probably weed out "installation specific" causes (see if others see the same
behavior). Are these all native parts or do you use a lot of imported data
(can be especially hard to get good views of)?

Also when editing or creating a view you may want to select the second
tab on the dialog box and then check the 'show tangent edges' box. If
that is unchecked all the fillets and rounds do not show in your IDW.

I'm in lame-duck mode. Gave my 2 weeks, but nothing to do. They'll probably tell
me not to come in next week, but who knows....

That was it. I didn't have the 'show tangent edges' box
checked. All the lines appear now.
Thanks for all the help.
