not shown lines in drafting 1

[Taner41]

Hello,
sometimes on drafting side some lines are lost. Does someone know how to bring them? In the file I attached you see a small assembly and the lines of the guide rails are disappeared(even though you can see end part of it).
(NX7.5-NX.9.0)

Double click your view and go to the General tab. Find your view tolerance and change it to a tighter value.

Yes, adjust the view tolerance to see if that helps,
but it also could be due to interfering solid bodies

 

[Taner41]

In general tab there was no tolerance, I changed the tolerance in configuration tab but it didnt help.

This is funny but those lines became visible when I changed un the "Representation" from "Exact" to "Smart Lightweight". I would think that exact option should include more details than lightweight

I am almost certain that you have interfering solid bodies there

jerry1423; there is no interfering bodies, there is only one rail which I downloaded from supplier`s webpage.

If you have a nut and a bolt assembled together, I believe that is an interfering body. From your image, I see quite a few bodies which could fit this description. If you're in mm units, set your view tolerance to something really tight - like 0.01mm or less. See what that looks like. If that doesn't do the trick, you'll have to go to the Hidden Lines tab and turn on (put a check in the box) for Process Interfering Solids so that the intersection lines will appear. This can eat up memory while processing, so be sure to save the part FIRST in case it locks up your computer completely.

If that doesn't work, that I am aware, the only other alternative is manually drawing in the intersection lines in that particular view.

Try this:
In View Style go to the "hidden lines" tab, and under "Interfering Solids" check "yes, Without Interfering Solids" or "yes, With Interfering Solids"
Very often this will solve the problem of missing lines.
