Hide silhouette curves that should be hidden in a drafting view

[BOPdesigner]

NX 5.0.4 I have a TFR-ISO drafting view of an assembly that has some fastners in it that I created from John Bakers fastener library. There are dashed silouette curves that outline these fasteners. How do I make them not show up at all? When I uncheck the silhouette box on the general tab of the style dialog all of my visible silhouettes that should be there disappear in addition to the hidden ones where the screws are. Thanks for your help.

Not sure if this will help, but you could select the Drawing view, press MB3 and select Style and go to the tab labeled 'Hidden Lines' and try toggling on the 'Interfering Solids' option.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

That didn't work, but I figured it out thanks. On the threads tab I changed the Thread Standard From ANSI Simplified to None.

Ah yes, I forgot about those options. I was thinking more along the lines of what might be a better HLR setting(s).

Where would I find John Bakers fastener library. It might be of great help to us here at Bose

While officially I've been asked to refrain from providing them to anyone since we are now offering a fully supported Machinery Reuse Library, which will include fasteners, starting with NX 5, you can still download a copy of them from the PLM World website. You will need to register as a 'citizen' (it's free), but once registered you will have access to their user shared library to which I made a 'donation' of both my English and Metric fastener libraries.

BTW, for the record, it appears that we are probably going to, after some refreshing and maybe even some enhancing, add the contents of my fastener libraries, along with a few others that I had never widely disseminated, to our evolving Machinery Reuse Library, but for now, you can still get a traditional copy from PLM World.

John, How do we get this machinery reuse library? Is it a seperate license? My reuse library tab has a Standard Parts book in it but the folders beneth it are empty.

 

[JohnRBaker]

No, it is not an extra cost license. However you will need to download the libraries from the GTAC product download site. Log into the site using your Webkey and password. Go to Product Downloads and you should see an item labeled NX Machinery Library. Once you have the download page open, there are some readme's and instruction documents that you may wish to review first before you actually start downloading libraries since there are several and you may not want them all on your system as they can take up quite a bit of room.
