Hidden line not showing up in views

Using Advance Steel 2020

All of a sudden in this one file the hidden lines are not showing up no matter what I do. A few weeks ago this problem did not exist with this file. Anyone have a solution? Thanks for any help. I have included the file and a screen capture.

I'm not sure if I just look on the wrong point, but I see many green lines and these are the hidden lines or not?

Hi @advandes 

 

As @Sebastian_Eiche  said Ive run the drawing from your model and the hidden lines are showing up ok, have you tried a regen or regen3 in the drawing?

 

Could you attach the GA drawing that isnt showing the lines so we can have a look at the actual GA that your machine has run

Yes, all those green lines are suppose to be hidden, along with others.

seems to work on my side, here's a screencast: https://autode.sk/2TEKAEq

Maybe you deregistrate the details and registrate it again? After deregsitration I would delete the UPD file, and the registrate the detail, update the detail by using the document manager. Maybe the Update file is corrupt.

Hi @advandes 

 

I dont know why this has happened but if you type LINETYPE you will see that the hidden line isnt showing as loaded into this drawing, if you click Load find the hidden line, add it then type REGEN it will correct itself.

I found this Knowledge articule and used it as a basis - https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/advance-steel/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/...

Awesome! I would never have thought of that. I assumed it was an Advance Steel setting and not a basic AutoCAD function. Thanks you for solving this issue!
