Line display in drafting

[niedzviedz]

Hello.

I have a problem with line display in drafting in NX 8.0.3.4 MP4. This is what I'm doing:
1) Create a model.
2) Create a new (ctrl+N), -> drafting -> blank
3) I'm going to modeling (M)
4) In modeling I create a cube: moldwizard -> create box -> offset 0
5) Then I create lines on every edge, to have a boundary in drafting
6) I put cube in layer 255
7) I chane color of lines and linetype
8) I go back to drafting, create a Views and those lines doesn't appears

The best thing is that - on another computer with NX 8.0.3.4 MP1 those lines are visible.

What I have to set in NX to view this lines?

With best regards
Michael

Can you supply an example part where the curves are invisible ?
- Some of us might be running the version you describe.

Have you talked to GTAC ?
They have almost all possible NX versions installed and can test cass like this.

Tomas

I'm not sure what you're telling us is not working. Your video shows the lines in the Drawing views. Isn't this what you're telling us doesn't work? It looks like it's working just fine to me.

BTW, instead of drawing all those line manually I would have just gone to...

Insert -> Curves from Bodies -> Extract -> Edge Curves -> All in Solid

...select the body and hit OK. Now either Hide or move the solid to an invisible layer.

Or if you wanted to make them associative to the original solid go to...

Insert -> Associative Copy -> Extract Geometry...

...using the 'Composite Curve' type and with the 'Associative' and 'Allow Self-intersection' options toggled ON and the selection 'Curve Rule' set to 'Body Edges', select the solid and hit OK. Again, you now can either Hide or move the solid to an invisible layer.

the thing about is:
since nx8 the mastermodel drawing views are referencing on the master ( movie 3.05 the add view dialog part section).
Geometrie created in the drawing part as you did will not show in the drawing view...
