Hi,
I have an assembly and did a drawing of it. In several section views part of the body outlines disappear. The should be for sure there! I don't know why it happens or how to get them into my drawing. I have already tried to do the section view again without any success.
Did this ever happen to anybody?
Thanks for your help!

Hi!
Unfortunatelly no, is confidential.. but i have attached one picture where you can see how it looks like. Left is how it looks in my drawing. Right (red lines added by me) how it is supposed to look. It is just a bended tube. I do not understand why it is not displayed in my drawing...
Thanks!

Does the tube interfere with the plate that it intersects/passes through? Body interferences can cause some drawing view strangeness.

If so, there are some options you can use to fix the display. The downside is, these options require more computation, therefore longer view updates. It is better to fix the interference, if possible (unless it is intentional).

Those 'interference' options are on the 'Hidden Lines' tab of the View Style dialog.

Awesome! It was really just the interference, by removing this, my lines appeared again!
Thank you everybody!!
