Hidden Line Calculation

Hello All,

 

We have been having some issues with our assembly drawings not calculating hidden lines correctly.  What is happening is Visible lines are being set to hidden so when we turn the hidden lines off half the lines disappear.  I have no idea what could be causing this because it only happens to some views and to specific parts.  If I make a part drawing the lines are correct. 

 

The attached images hopefully show what is going on.  It is also effecting multiple drawings and is not allowing us to accurately show critical information.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Steve

Hi  Clarkeng09,

Here is something to try:

  • locate the drawing view in the drawing browser
  • then expand the model tree for that view
  • then locate the components in question in the browser tree
  • then right click on that component node

Do you have the option to un-select Hidden Lines from the right click menu? If so it sounds if someone has set specific components in certain views to show hidden lines at some point in the past.

 

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,

Thanks for the suggestions, I looked into the hidden lines of the parts and it doesnt look like thats the issue.  I also noticed if I select top view the lines are not correct, however if I rotate slightly off top they are just fine.  Take a look a the attached files, nothing was touched in the browser or view settings only the rotation.

 

Thanks, 

Steve
