franky Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 In a viewport, how do I make edges which are hidden behind other parts of the model appear dashed or dotted whilst the directly visible edges remain solid? Thanks Quote
Tiger Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 are we talking 3D-models or 2D-drawings? Quote

Tiger Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Ok, have moved your thread to the 3D-modelling part and hope you get some help here. Quote
ReMark Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 The system variable is VSOBSCUREDEDGES. Set it to 1. Quote
SEANT Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Also, to change the style of the hidden lines, look at the OBSCUREDLTYPE system variable Quote
ReMark Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Example of dashed lines for obscured edges using plain AutoCAD. System variable settings as noted. Quote
franky Posted March 3, 2010 Author Posted March 3, 2010 Brilliant. Thanks a lot guys. Great forum; hopefully i'll be able to offer some help too soon. Quote
ReMark Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 franky: First. Your're welcomed. Second. You don't have to wait to offer help. I'm doing some sheetrock work this weekend at my house. Come over early and bring your tools. I'll put a pot of coffee on and set out some nice warm biscuits. Don't be late. LOL Quote
franky Posted March 3, 2010 Author Posted March 3, 2010 haha sounds good i'll hop on the Learjet. Look for Franky's Worldwide On Demand Drywall Inc. I'll expect some pretty good drawings of the job... Quote
