Ghosted sectioned drawing

Swarfmaker — Tue, 09 Apr 2024 22:51:21 GMT

The attached drawing was produced using the automatic create mode. At the time that the drawing was created the design was displayed and saved with the section analysis that you can see here. What I have never seen before was the drawing replicate the section view as seen in the design view. Furthermore I have never seen the 'ghost' image of the hidden part of the section view before. This drawing effect has only appeared once - single occasion, and I cannot replicate it. That is a shame as I particularly like the information that this image conveys.

Is it a fluke, a fault or something that I have not learnt how to achieve?

I can do the same type of view. I had a Section Analysis activated in the Isometric View. I am showing a Shaded Model Style selection.

Thanks @jhackney1972. My problem is that I cannot get this isometric representation to recur. I did no more than make a small dimensional change to one component and when the drawing updated the representation reverted to a non-sectioned, model style view. Undoing the changes did not bring back this visual representation. Are you able to reproduce this view at will and if so what conditions or sequence of actions guarantee the result?

I must be missing something!

I've had the same issue with some of my drawings as well. I had to turn off the section view in my model then delete and re-insert the isometric view in the drawing. It doesn't happen with all drawings.

Thank you @MRWakefield. The ghosted presentation is something that I would like to be able to reliably have as an option as it is actually useful. Getting rid of it is not the problem!

Thank you for the link to your thread software. I will take a look later. Sounds as though it fills a significant gap in Fusion capability.

Thanks all for the feedback. I can reproduce this issue too, and it has been tracked as internal ticket (FDWG-18476) for Dev investigation.

Yes, it would be nice to have this as an option as I agree that it could be useful.

Thanks, I added the link to my thread application in my signature as I thought it would bring it to more people's attention. As it's free I obviously don't make any money out of it but it's good to know that people are finding it useful.

Hello @Swarfmaker,

This is a bug and we have added a ticket internally (FDWG-18476) , the issue you get is a glitch when you just change the front view to home view in assembly Sheet for drawings which are Auto created.

Thanks!

Thank you @liang_chen Liang. I hope that it can become a selectable option since the software is clearly capable of producing a useful drawing visualisation.

Please don't allow it to be logged as a problem to be removed!
