AutoCAD Inventor :: Can Add Hidden Lines Behind Only Certain Objects In IDW?

Feb 8, 2013

What I'm looking to do is show the hidden lines blocked by a part in a plan view but not all of the hidden lines.  Ie. I have a top view showing a clearance.  If I turn on that clearance a portion of the original part is not viewed.  When I turn on hidden lines I now see every hidden detail of that part (I didn't turn on hidden lines for the entire drawing).  I then have to eliminate all the lines I don't want which is both tedious and cumbersome.  Is there a way to turn on just the lines hidden by a particular object but not all the hidden lines of the part.

AutoCad :: Hidden Lines Won't Stay Hidden When Plotting

Aug 3, 2011

I'm drawing objects (walls, platforms, etc.) in 3d made up primarily of extruded polygons. I want to be able to plot these objects in a way that hides all of the lines which are obscured by other objects. Currently I have my viewports set up with a 2D Wireframe visual style and a Hidden shade plot. This isn't working for me. I'm still getting all of the lines in the drawing visible no matter what.

Here's the strange thing: It seems to work perfectly fine in plan view, but not in front view. Also, it's worked fine in the past. It seems that the problem has gotten progressively worse over the past year or so.

I'm using AutoCAD 2008.

AutoCAD Inventor :: BOM Reference Parts And Hidden Lines

Nov 19, 2012

I am doing a .idw drawing of an assembly that I have several parts that I do not want to appear in the BOM parts list. I have therefore set these parts as Reference parts however this has caused them to appear as "hidden type" lines in the drawing and are even visible through other parts.

Is there any way to make these parts appear in the drawing "as normal" and not be listed in the parts list?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Unable To See Hidden Lines From Other Parts

May 27, 2013

I don't know if it is a bug or a setting, but in Inventor 2014, when I work on a part inside an assembly, with hidden lines visible, I am not able to see hidden lines from other parts.

is this a bug in Inventor 2014, or can this be changed in settings?

I really need that x-ray overview when projecting edges from hidden parts.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Hidden Lines In An IDW For Selected Parts

Jan 17, 2012

Is there way that within a drawing view, hidden lines can be shown for only some of the parts of an assembly, rather than just being a global toggle setting for the whole view? I know that it is possible to hide individual lines, but It would be good to be able to do this on a part basis, as some drawings can have thousands of hidden lines that would need to be selected and turned off.

AutoCAD Inventor :: IDW Hidden Lines In One Part Of A View?

Oct 26, 2011

Is it possible to show hidden lines in one part of a .idw view while the rest of the view does not show hidden lines?  In the attached image I want to show the pull handle and towel bar through the glass in the door.  The only way I know how to show this currently is to turn off the visibility on the glass.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Edges And Hidden Lines Disappear On Zoom?

Oct 16, 2013

Having an issue where in a part model with the view set to "wireframe with hidden edges" the edges and hidden edges disappear when you try to zoom in on the part. Actually not working with "wireframe and visible edges only" at any zoom level either.

The edges are there and I know that there are features that should be showing up as hidden.

Running Quadro FX 3800 with the most current drivers, and I only noticed this when switching to IV 2014.

Also running IV Build 222 SP 1

This is making designing very hard as I can't tell anymore where there are instances of  features interfering with each other.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Solid / Visible Parts Showing Up As Hidden Lines On IDW

Aug 3, 2010

I'm having issues involving hidden lines that should not be hidden lines in the idw environment. 

I am using Inventor 2010 suite, 64-bit.  I have  largish assembly modeled with several sub-assemblies and a few reference assemblies.   Some of the reference models are shrinkwraps from other large assemblies (surface type shrinkwrap, link broken), and other reference models are acutal assemblies that I am unable to shrinkwrap because I need the positional reps that they provide.

When I place my parent assembly, with all the normal and reference models included, on an idw, large portions of the reference models do not show up.  If I change my line style to show hidden lines, the missing parts show up.  At first, I thought that it may be because the reference parts in question were not originally in the view due to the reference data margin, so I started a new sheet and set the margin large enough to show the entire machine, as well as the state of Michigan, before I set the base view, but I still don't get those parts unless I enable hidden lines.

Even at that, Inventor is not behaving consistently.  Some of the parts that won't show unless hidden lines enabled are fabricated  parts that I or a co-worker modeled, some of the parts were imported from SAT, STEP and IGES files, and some of them are shrinkwrap parts.  On top of that, some of the parts will show up normal (without hidden lines shown) if I change the part's BOM structure from reference to normal, while others still will not show unless hidden lines are enabled, regardless of the BOM structure.  Keep in mind, none of these parts are hidden behind anything in the model, even with everything visible in my design view rep, so what's causing Inventor to think these parts are hidden.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Hidden Lines Of Specific Parts In Assembly Drawing View

Oct 24, 2011

Is there a way of using Ilogic to make hidden lines of specific parts in an assembly drawing view visible? If a part with hidden lines showing is suppressed and then unsuppressed the hidden line option becomes unchecked, therefore I need a way of rechecking this option through code?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Stop Hidden Lines From Showing Up In Drawings After Adding Parts To Assembly?

Mar 14, 2013

I'm not sure if there's a way to stop this, but whenever I add parts to an assembly and switch to the drawing of the assembly, the hidden lines for those parts show up in every view of the assembly. Right now I'm having to go to each view and select the hide hidden lines option for each part. Is it possible to stop the hidden lines from showing up everytime I add a part?

AutoCad 3D :: 2D Circle Jagged Lines - 3D Model Hidden Jagged Lines / How To Get Smooth Lines

Oct 5, 2012

Re: 2D circle jagged lines, 3D model hidden jagged lines. How do i get smooth lines?

How do i get rid of jagged lines?

Circles and diagonal lines look rubbish when i am in hidden view which i use for simple 3d black / white (i think this is the best way?).

I have tried:

- viewres (1000, 5000, 10000, 20000 sightly better)
- regen

See examples.

AutoCad :: Hidden Lines In Blocks?

Jan 19, 2012

I am using AutoCAD Plant 3D 2012 and working with the P&ID portion of the software. I created a block (to represent insulation with electric heat tracing) with multiple lines using multiple settings. All of the lines are on layer 0, the line weight is set to by layer. All of the lines have a linetype of by layer except one line which I need to be hidden. This block appears correctly on my screen, but when I print, the hidden line prints continuous.

My brain is exhausted and I think this is just a setting somewhere I can not seem to locate.

AutoCad 3D :: Hidden Lines In Layouts?

Oct 5, 2011

maybe I was dreaming. Maybe I've gone round the bend. I seem to remember somewhere a check box that would show hidden lines in paperspace viewports. For instance, a through hole, or a cavity in something.

Been a while since I've done much besides architectural drawing, so maybe I'm hallucinating.

I also distinctly remember the monochrome plot style always printing in black and white, even in a PDF. Today, the objects in modelspace are in color, and anything in paper space is black and white.

What is up with that? I must be missing something obvious, because I've screwed around with this for an hour and can't figure out what I've done to cause this.

AutoCad :: Plotting Hidden Lines

Jun 14, 2011

I'm opening a drawing created in AutoCAD 2008, which is plotting hidden arcs as solid lines. Straight hidden lines are dashed as normal. I've attached both the paperspace view and the plot preview to show what I mean. The outer radius is showing as dashed in paperspace view, but appears as a solid line when plotted. The straight line leading to it is dashed in both views.

I still trying to get 2012 to configured like our previous version. Howcver, I noticed something odd. In several of our drawings I covered some objects with a wipeout. I then sent to the dwg to pdf driver, then printed the pdf. On screen the objects are covered, in the pdf on screen the objects are covered, but in the actual print from the pdf some of the objects are faintly visible. with the previous 2010 version of AC we used. The files are the same and the printer is the same.
