Dashed Edges

[realmagicracer]

In the Documentation I see interesting buttons, but I can not find them in NX.
Here is the path of this page in my PC:
"C:\UGS\NX 5.0\UGDOC\html_files\roadmap\11qt_icon_function_map_99.html"

The buttons are called "Dashed Hidden Edges" and "Gray Thin Hidden Edges".

That document page should either be removed or updated since those icons are basically obsolete and have not been used in this form since NX 3. In NX 4 when we introduced Dynamic Hidden Line Removal, all of these 'Static Wireframe' icons were removed since we no longer wanted them to occupy a place on the View Toolbar (the attached image shows where they were accessed from a toolbar drop-down in NX 3) since they were being 'demoted' to a state of still supported, but no longer preferred. You must now go to the Preferences -> Visualization dialog and use an albeit somewhat obscure procedure to set these options from list boxes and toggled options (and before you ask, this less then optimal scheme IS by design).

Thanks John. I was wondering why these buttons are missing. Now I realize that this "rendering style" is not effective for design.
I have another question connected to "rendering styles".
Is there a way to save settings made in "Prefferences -> Visualisation -> Visual" to separate button (as a separate visualisation style shortcut)?

I've made a journal file for dashed hidden lines. Then I set it as a user command button. And it works!
