Hide features in drawing view

[cad owl]

Hey
I am having a part. All I want to do is that I want to hide certain features of it in the drafting view.
For example: I have made various slots in it using extrude cut, but I want to hide those slots in drafting view.
How can this be done?

Any help is appreciated.
P.S.- I need some practical way to do so as i do not want to delete any lines etc manuualy.
and I cannot roll back the history where slots were created, my model has gone too complex now.

Thanks

The simplest way is to hide in the drawing view the contour of those slots.
Another way is to use the View Dependent Edit and pick up the "Erase Objects".....

I suspect that you also posted this in the Siemens forum as it is nearly identical. You don't want to delete lines manually and you don't want to rework the feature tree because that would be tedious work, which is understandable. Knowing nothing else of your model, SteveV's advice about the extract body seems to be a reasonable way forward with minimal rework.

Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted. And experience is often the most valuable thing you have to offer.

Since your account is marked as "student", I assume that you are fairly new to this. I encourage you to take this as a learning experience; think through how the model will be used downstream. Talk to those that will be using it, if possible. Knowing the uses before you start modeling will help inform how it should be modeled. For instance, I work in the consumer goods industry (lots of injection molded parts) where we spend most of our modeling time on the outside surfaces. We design the outside surfaces to be moldable but also have the desired look & feel. Once that is done, we sew the surfaces together, shell the result and add all the internal and finishing features. In every project there is at least one part that has to have a fixture made. Ideally, you could create a block and subtract the finished model from it and call it a day. However, this often doesn't work, but NX is getting better in this respect. Knowing this, I'll often extract a body before the shell operation so the manufacturing engineer has a good model to use that is representative of the final outside shape. If there are any significant changes to the outside shape or new features added, I have to be sure to roll the model back and make those changes before the shell operation.

Take some time to plan your work before diving in on your next project and your experience will help it go smoother & faster.

Here is another work flow, Use associative copy, copy the solid body. Now you have two solid bodies. Now on the copied solid body, use delete surface and delete the surfaces you do not want. Then toss the copied solid body on a different layer. Then you can show and hide layers in your views. Then make sure you remove the copied body from your model reference set.
