Need Help...Hidden lines

[amielle_07]

Hi I'm a newbie here..

 

I just like to ask if is it possible to make unseen part of the 3d object into dashed line or broken line?

 

:)

 

Thanks!!

You're referring to parts of an object that would normally be hidden from view right?

[QualityEngineer]

yes it is.. If you are requiring it in realtime, the use the wireframe diagram, however this will not show in the standard ISO hashed line, if you require this in 2D format, then youll need to specify this in the layer properties...... By default though, ACAD does not do this as standard. Inventor does, ACAD does not.....

 

thanks

yes .. hidden from view.. do you know how to make it to broken line?

[QualityEngineer]

Ok... Go into layer properties, select line type.. Then change to the appropriate line your drafting standards apply to. This is for 2D.. in 3D, I do not believe that there is a wireframe view that supports the automatic hashing of partial or full objects that are hidden from view, but im sure ReMark will have better knowledge of this than myself...

Thanks for the idea..:)

You can use the 'SOLPROF' or 'FLATSHOT' commands on the 3D Model to generate a 2D of that that view. With 'SOLPROF' it will put the hidden lines onto a different layer which you can then change the linetype and colour properties of. With 'FLATSHOT' you can set these properties before you generate the 2D under the 'Obscured Lines' options.

 

Also, bare in mind that you can only use SOLPROF in paper space through a viewport. Simply rotate the solid in a viewport to your desired view, set the UCS to whichever orientation you want the 2D to appear and SOLPROF.

 

I would recommend FLATSHOT for ease of use though.

 

Hope this helps

you could just use inventor!!!!! :wink:

Now that's just the advice I'd expect to see from J.D.Mather. Have you two been talking?

Thanks a lot kwrightMTC .

That's awsome news to me .

Flatshot, SolView/SolDraw, SolProf and even SectionPlane can be used to create 2D geometry from a 3D solid object.

No problem man. Glad I could help

Flatshot, SolView/SolDraw, SolProf and even SectionPlane can be used to create 2D geometry from a 3D solid object.

 

I will have a play with these. I exclusively used SOLPROF up until a few months back when a colleague shown me Flatshot. Although my general preference is to viewport over the 3D Solid and play with the shade plot settings, but this isn't always possible.

If you want to see hidden line in wirefame visual style in 3D, you can use variable OBSCUREDLTYPE
