Solid not displaying right in drawing.

[uGlay]

I made a solid, put a bunch of holes on it, then put it on a drawing but the outline is not showing. only the holes.

Any idea what could be causing this? Nothing special about this part, just a bunch of extrudes and cuts.

Is it only your PC?
Did you drag and drop only the hole features into the dwg?

Are the outline elements highlighted when moused over in the drawing views?

Has the outline Line Format colour been changed, or somehow been hidden?

it was a multi-body part. i broke it up into an assembly and it all displayed correctly.

What driver version are you using for your video card? If that is not he certified one that could be your issue.

I have seen a similar problem pop up now and then with cosmetic threads being toggled on or off for the given view.

SBaugh: Drivers are all legit.


Subwoofer: I havent noticed this with cosmetic threads but maybe because I dont require cosmetic threads in drawings.

Well be double sure and if they are legit I would contact your VAR about this one. Still seems like a Graphical issue.

uGlay,

This is a long shot...Activate the view with the problem...in the line format toolbar toggle the color display mode...see if this fixes the problem.

Select the drawing view & change the draft quality to high quality (or vice versa) try this.

hisrik: do you mean the "cosmetic thread" options? I dont have any cosmetic threads on this part.
