Dear All,

I made a revolved section view in drafting mode and in the generated view some of the visible lines are not visible.

Have anyone ever met this phenomenon?

Can this happen because of the computer performance settings?

Thx!

Hey,

if You use layers - check Layer Visble in Wiew (it always work with electrode drawing).
If no - can You write more detail - what kind of drawing You made? Assembly drawing, drawing with one body or more, drawing with thread?
Maybe, You can add screen of your drawing or similar.

Best regards

Hi,

I do not use layers.
It is an assembly drawing with more bodies. There are edges which have to be visible but somehow those are invisible/or partially invisible. This phenomenon appears mostly in a section view.
Now I can not show a picture but tomorrow morning I will attach a printscreen.
It is a very annoying thing...

Possibly there are two solid bodies that are interferring with (inside of) each other.
I see this happening with shrink fit assemblies. It also happens with two components that are not constrained correctly and end up slightly inside of each other.
 
Since it's an Assembly there's always the possibility that there may be some interfering solids, as mentioned by jerry1423. If this is the case, select the problem view(s), press MB3 and select the 'Hidden Line' item and toggle ON the 'Interfering Solids' option of 'Yes, With Interference Curves' and see if this solves the problem.

Thanks for your all help, it was about the solid interference as jerry1423 said.

Attached a picture which shows an other interesting problem I could not solved.
You can see a hole in a solid body from a certain angle view. The result is just not that you can expect....

Any ideas?

THX!
