Show hidden lines in DXF Export by code

Anonymous — Sat, 09 Feb 2019 06:36:48 GMT

Hello

I can export active view to dxf file without any problem. but I want to see hidden lines (the lines that underneath other elements) with dashed line style in this dxf export. How can we do that in API and C#?

Please see attached PDFs for more information.

How can you do achieve that manually in the user interface? Solve that first, before looking at the programming side of things.

I have found the solution. I paste it here for other developers

doc.ActiveView.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.MODEL_GRAPHICS_STYLE).Set((int)DisplayStyle.HLR);
doc.ActiveView.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.VIEW_SHOW_HIDDEN_LINES).Set((int)ShowHiddenLinesValues.All);
doc.ActiveView.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.VIEW_DISCIPLINE).Set((int)ViewDiscipline.Mechanical);
