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 :: 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 Inventor :: Hidden Parts Visible When Zoomed Out?

Feb 21, 2013

I'm building a platform and have sheet metal on top of a tube frame. When I'm zoomed up closely I only see the sheet metal surface. But when I zoom out further some of the tubes start becoming visible through the sheet metal. This happens in just about every assembly. Parts behind other parts start becoming visible when zooming out far enough.

Is there a way to stop this from happening?

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 :: Showing Hidden Lines In Drawing File

Apr 13, 2009

Can we show or hide the model edges with respect to Features or parts. I think, there must be only two options. ie. "Show all hidden edges" or "show all" and "Hide all edges".

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 :: Dimensions In Drawing Cause Hidden Lines To Be Visible

Aug 3, 2011

Problems I'm having with hidden lines being visible in certain viewports and not others.I've dimensioned my drawings in model space, which I prefer, and put the dimensions on a separate layer. However, including that layer in the viewport causes the hidden lines to be visible when plotted. If I turn that layer off, everything works great.

I have dimensions for the same object in plan view that I'm showing in a different viewport that works just great, but in the front elevation viewport it gets all screwy.

I can dimension in paper space just fine.I prefer to dimension in model space whenever possible.

If I delete the veiwport and make a new veiport all over again it will work for a single print then will not show it all over again.

Illustrator :: Missing Parts Of Lines While They Are Visible With PDF Viewer

May 25, 2013

I have encountered this issue in a pdf file that I generated using my R (statisitcal language) scripts. The file contains 3 smoothed but wiggly lines where parts of a few lines vanish when I open the pdf file in illustrator. Opening the same pdf in any pdf viewers turns out perfectly however. I need to further edit the pdf file for publication purposes, so having parts of the plot missing makes this a headache. I've done other plots before with R, which can be edited in illustrator perfectly.
 
My file looks like this in pdf viewers:

In illustrator it looks like this:  This is the case for both CS2 and CS6

There was a similar query previously, but the problem didn't seem to be solved. [URL] ....

AutoCAD Inventor :: Showing Two Instances Of Parts List And Adding Custom Parts

Mar 30, 2012

On the main sheet of my drawing I have the overall Parts List.  Shows almost all parts except for the few that we don't want to list.  On the second sheet I inserted a Parts List to show only parts that are shown in a detail on that page, made the rest non-visible.

On the main sheet there is an item (#13) that has a QTY of 3.  Two of those Three are optional parts.  What I'm trying to do is insert a custom part into the Parts List, give it an item number of 13A and put in the description "OPTIONAL", then do an Override in the balloon to show 13A.

I get it in the Parts List, Apply it, close it, save the drawing.  Looking at the Parts List, item #13A is there, but item #14 is gone.  I go back into the Parts List and 13A is there and there's a blue box around the item # and the description.  I uncheck Static Value and number 14 shows up (item # and the description).

Then I go over to sheet two, open that Parts List and it lists 13A at the bottom with all the info I added in sheet one and it's non-visible.  Go back to sheet one, open the Parts List and there is no 13A to be found.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Assemblies Showing In Parts Only Parts List

Jul 10, 2012

I have an assembly with a lot of purchased parts. I need to create a buy out list for purchasing. I've done this many times in the past and have a template set up for this purpose.

So now the problem, In this assembly, I have subassemblies showing up on my parts only parts list.

One of the subassemblies cinsists of two purchased parts. Both parts are set to purchased in the Bill of materials. If I do a parts only list on this assembly, it works as expected, showing two purchased parts. However, if I put that assembly into a higher level assembly, A parts only parts list shows the assembly instead of the individual parts.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Assembly - Parts Not Visible

May 11, 2012

I'm working on a small Assy (25 parts). When I open one of the parts from this Assy and work on it then go back to the Assy many parts are not visible. The update button is usually off so I can't use it.

This started only about 2-3 weeks ago - in every assy. I changed the nvidia driver but didn't work.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Use Only Visible Parts In Assembly

May 13, 2013

in my assembly part visibility is controlled by a Ilogic rule which selects an Iassembly. This assembly is a parametric model controlled by excel. The visible parts have to be exported to dxf.

Everything is working (iterating through parts, export sheet metal to dxf), but how can I check whether a part is visible within the assembly?

I have a large assembly that I have been working with for about a month . I recently went in and changed some information and it seems that my work plane is way out of whack! How to get it back down to size. this makes it real difficult to use my space navigator because the center of gravity is off bigtime too. I also would like to know how to make all parts and features visible, is there a button somewhere?

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 :: 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.

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 :: Make Selection Of Parts Directly Invisible Instead Of First Visible

Dec 19, 2013

Is there a way to make parts invisible directly independent to the selection you made (selection can contain visible, invisible or both parts)?

Most of the time, i make a selection in the model browser and want to put a list of parts directly invisible. Sometimes i also select already invisble parts.

Now what inventor wants to do is make them all first visible before i can make them invisible. As far as i know, there is no other option to do this.

Is there maybe a combination with holding shift or something to directly toggle them invisible?

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.
