How to delete these lines?

Anonymous

Sorry I just don't know how to call them. I guess now it's quite clear that I'm a newbie. As for the drawing and the annotations I know it sucks but it's not the final form. It is probably a ridiculous problem but I just can't find the solution.

So I made a connecting-rod in Inventor. When I want to create a drawing of it some lines appear around the fillets at the bottom of the milling which I highlighted red in the attached picture.
#1: Could you tell me how can I get rid of these lines?
#2: I would really appreciate if you could tell me how to set dimensions to irregular curves like what you can see highlighted blue.

Thank you very much in advance and sorry for the dumb question but I haven't find the solution for it since I can't even describe what those lines are called.

#1 Double click on the view and then turn off Tangent Edges.

I already tried that.
You know what, I don't care how lame it is, I attach the .ipt and the .dwg files.
Feel free to tell me about any mistakes you find in it 🙂

You have M8 threads on M8 Holes - this will not work - the fastener will drop through the holes.
8mm is not the correct tap drill size for an M8 thread - use the threaded feature WITHIN the Hole feature command - not a separate Thread Feature.  Inventor will create the correct tap drill size.

 

I would make these splines Tangent (actually, I would consider replacing the splines with to mathematically simple arcs. (and cheaper to manufacture)

Sketch 4 not tangent (I see you added a fillet to fix this later in the design).

and some extraneous trimmed geometry

Not sure why your Tangent Edges are still visible in the drawing - I have never seen that problem before.

 

Double click on the view and uncheck Raster View Only.

For #2 you could retrieve the sketch dimensions - but since there are only 2 points that define the spline - the dimensions will not be very useful. I recommend replacing the splines with arcs.

Thank you very much! You pretty much solved all of my problems. I made that curve with an arc and it is much easier to set dimensions for it. Also solved that problem with tangent edges I'm very grateful for both 🙂

Could I just have one more question?
Is there any other way to create sections or only the way I did it already? It makes harder to understand what is behind the section lines.
