We are using section views in our drawings. However, we don’t want any hatching to show up. I’ve scoured the hatch libraries and hatch documentation and I have not been able to figure out how to turn hatching off, or alternatively to create a hatch style that is blank. My attempt at creating a blank hatching file is attached, but it didn’t work.
How can I turn off hatching or create a 'blank' .pat?
I have searched the Help fine in Civil 3D, I have searched the tutorials and Knowledge Base online, I have searched the Mastering AutoCAD Civil 3D manual, and I can not fine how to turn on hatching in Section Views. I'm currently running Civil 3D 2013.
I am accidentally selecting the xref when hatching and thought I remembered a setting or something to where you could make it where the xref couldn't be selected when hatching? I know the work around. Just unload the xref and then hatch, just thought their was a setting for this.
When creating a section view in 2014, the new view now comes bordered by a large box that is hatched. I can hide the borders (4 separate lines) and the hatch but cannot change the size of the view border. I don't remember this from 2011.
I have a cylindrical shaft passing through a bearing. I have a section view showing a cut-away of half of the shaft and bearing. Automated hatching results. I bring the bearing out of the section view (Rclick > Section Participation > None), and the hatching of the shaft remains visible, through the bearing. An image of this is shown below:
I would like to hide that hatching that shows through the bearing, so that it looks like the image below:
Is it possible to scale the cross-hatching in a detail that was created from a section view so it looks better with the scale of a detail? If the scale factor of a detail is much larger than its parent, the cross-hatching is very sparse and detracts from clarity rather than adding to it.
The attached part has multiple holes in multiple locations...... I want to show in the .idw one set "row" around the circumference at a time.
So I want to show set one, how far in from the end of the tube, then how many and at what degrees around the 360*. to do this i can only suppress the other features right now.
so when I make another View those same parts are suppressed and i cant change it around otherwise it messes with the holes I want and don't want to show in the previous view.
Somehow my top level assembly shows the UCS triads for hundreads of my parts (but not all of them). I know I didn't turn the visibility of all these UCS triads on manually. Now I cannot get them to turn off.
When I toggle the visibility status of a few and save the file they come back when the file is reopened.
Note, they are NOT visibile in their respective part files, just in my top level assembly.
I have a part given to me from a customer that has ALL custom planes turned on. This file is large and has many assemblies, part, sub assy's.... too much to go thru one at a time. Can I turn all 'plane views' off at once? Why? Because I find it messy... no other reason.
I would like to highlight connector cutout details on a panel using the circular detail feature.
The views created are fine, however the detail indicator, the circle with arrows and identifier clutter the face of the object. If i could turn them off i would then use a leader to point to the detail instead, which in my case will be much neater.
When I edit a part directly in an assembly, clicking on 'edit sketch' (frequently) changes the view from the one I had set while looking at the assembly. Is ther any way to turn this OFF?
I can't seem to turn on the dynamic input. I followed the advice to go through Tools-Application Options - Sketch Tab, but then it references a 'Settings' box that doesn't seem to exist (see the attached screen shot). Is there some other option that needs to be turned on?
IV11, IDW.Is there a way to Disable Midpoint snapping while Dimensioning?It seems to get in the way a lot.A lot of the Lines i have to dimension are small and it's Always trying to dimension to the Midpoints of them rather than end points.Not a bad concept.. just in my case it really gets in the way..So just wondering if there is a setting somewhere to turn it off?
I wan to turn this prompt off...period. Not fix it, just turn it off.
"The location of the selected file is not in the active project. To ensure that the file can be found when you open files that reference it, add the location to the project or move the file to a location specified in the project."
Looked through options, changed approproate setting to "Never". Still prompts.
Is there a way without deleting the part from the assembly to make said part not show up in the drawing? I need to be able to do this in the model and not in the drawing. Suppressing the part create a level of detail, but I would have to create new views in the drawing and I don't want to do that.
The part is used in some cases, but not in others so I don't want to delete it from the assembly.
Somehow I have turned off keyboard shortcuts and I am not sure how. I have not changed anything in options. the F keys still work as normal, but L for line. X for trim and so on wont work. How to get these back?
I have a full electric motor including internal parts.It is quite large in size.
Is view representation the ideal method of turning off parts within an assembly.I do not need these internal parts when i include the electric motor into another assembly.Can i turn off these internal parts.
I have a weldment with about 200 welds in ti. In my industry being able to track and give each weld a specfic number and log it into the "books" is a big plus. I am starting to detail the assembly i have created and i am running into a problem. I know i can turn all the welds off in views in an IDW file. I can even make levels of deatil and surpress certain welds and such. This is extremely time consumming and not the easiest way of doing this. Is there another way of say turning off two out of five welds in a detail view? If not i think we will be looking for other software options. Considering our larger models will have 750-1500 welds this would be a nightmare.
The hatching appears in model space and paper space, except when i print from paper space, to PDF for example, the hatching disappears. why you can see the hatching in paper space but when you print to PDF it doesn't come out.
