Summary


Details

Trying to do a hidden line removal, on a group of faceted bodies ( Jt file) and cannot find an option to do so in NX11 Drafting.


In NX7.5, there was an option under Preferences => View => Base Tab that let you turn on Faceted Representations. That allowed you to do hidden line in drafting on the JT based files, but we cannot find this option in NX11. 




Solution

NX 7.5, to create a 'Facet Rep' view with Hidden Lines it was necessary to select the 'Faceted Representation' option on the 'View Style - Base' tab, when creating the Base View.

In NX 11.0 we have the equivalent option is 'Lightweight' "Representation" ,when creating a Base View.

 This 'Lightweight' "Representation" option is not displayed when check OFF in Customer Defaults setting as "Enable Exact (Pre-NX8.52) Views".
  -----------------------
  1.Go to: File>>Utilities>> Customer Defaults>>Drafting
  2.General/Setup>>Customise Standard.
  3.View>>Common>>Configuration>>Enable Lightweight Views [check ON].
  This option determines whether or not a lightweight view can be created.
