Displaying Hidden Lines in the Drawing - Stroke Type

2D plans
1

Hello

How can the type of strokes be changed?

I'm new to SW and I find the display of tiled lines (hidden lines) really awful...

Long strokes with long spaces.

I am putting screenshots to illustrate my point.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello

You should switch to "Apparent hidden lines" instead of "Wireframe". Then the choice of quality affects the display.

Thank you for your quick answer.

I'm already in this "hidden lines apparent" mode...

But indeed the result is very different from yours ...

I don't understand.

You can look at the system options on this side

Hello

 

Also look in the basic parameters, you never know.

After I will lean more towards a problem of scaling the dashes (they look super long on your drawing compared to the part.)

Maybe below the view choices, choose "High Quality" if you haven't already.

Thank you for your responsiveness!

I was well in dotted hidden edges.

But for the tangent edges underneath I put mixed lines and hyphen.

And the 2nd tab, I was in apparent hidden lines, I changed to deleted but it didn't change anything...

I attach the final print screen. 

I just closed the room and the software to see if anything had changed, but nothing.

Indeed I have the impression that it's a problem of scale but they are black like the visible lines and not gray.

I created a new room just in case to see, I have the same problem...

Hello

The display settings for the general options only affect the 3D. Normally, except for a bug (which version of SW?), setting the display style to "Hidden lines removed" displays the views without the hidden edges.

You should look in the drawing options directly how the line styles are set up for the displayed length problem.

Hello Cyril,

That's right!

All my settings are bad there, I don't know why.

I have the latest version of SW Connected, software acquired a week ago

Can someone give me the values for each line I copy it please:)

Thanks in advance!

That's it for me (the values are smaller but I work on scale 1 if it plays)

Basically , you just have to reduce your values by 10 for example, you will see if it suits you.

Be careful, it's in the models. Be careful to save the template (DRWDOT) otherwise the problem will come back. Here's what I have by default in my templates:

Continued: A,12

Dotted line: A,0.25,-0.125

Mixed and dashes: A,1.25,-0.25,0.25,-0.25,0.25,-0.25

Mixed: A,1.25,-0.25,0.25,-0.25

Mixed long: A,6,-0.25,0.25,-0.25

Point: A,0,-0.125

Mixed Fine/Thick: B,1.25,-0.25,0.25,-0.25

I just lack the grayed out color of the lines that I can't find or modify...

My test piece on the left vs someone else's piece at the beginning of the conversation.

If it's for the strokes of the cartridge, you have to uncheck Color display mode, it skips everything on the background of the map in gray in general

 @FUZ3D Unless I'm mistaken, this is the basic configuration of SW (it seems to me that we've been dragging this around in our models since 2007). In theory, it's the setting for scale 1, then SW adapts according to the scale so that it's consistent.

16

But then I don't understand, Cyril, your color settings are identical for visible and hidden lines, just like me. But do you have greyed out lines on your drawing when they are hidden like the example in my last message?

17

No, I don't have this problem, everything is in black.

18

Oh dac, in fact I don't want them black, I want them like the example on the right, it's visually less confusing.

I found a value that suits me quite well, in any case thank you for everything!

It is important to know that the system options concern the system, therefore common to all documents, while the properties of the document are specific to the current document, so for each new document the settings return to their default value.

For the line values, I have the same as FUZ3D, default values that I have never changed, and I too always work at scale 1.

and for the Point lines: A,0,-0.125

For greyed out lines, simply change the display style to draft quality. (Edit: in fact it's greyed out as long as you don't validate the options. After that, you have to change the color of the "Drawings, Hidden Edges of the Model" with light gray.

Cyril has already posted the image but maybe not very readable with the resizing of the forum so here it is:
