Hi all
I have a question about 2D drawings on Solidworks, in the case of an assembly.
Is it possible to put a view in "Apparent Hidden Lines" mode (with dashed edges) and, in the same view, to display some parts (or subassemblies) without these dashed hidden lines?
In some cases, it could be interesting, not all the edges are essential and pollute / weigh down the whole plan.
Thank you.
Sylvain.
Hello
In the design tree of your drawing, expand to right-click on the parts for which you want to show the hidden edges => show/hide => show the hidden edges.

You can always set your assembly view to dashed edges and hide the components you don't want to see in that view
Thank you Glaffont,
But... I had tried this solution but when I scroll like in your screenshot: Show / Hide => I only have the option "hide component"!
AH... Which version are you on?
Can you send your plan or make a view available?
Solidworks 2015 SP5 Premium ...
@PL: This topic is about Solidworks Composer ...
To complete what @Bart says, you can display in "Apparent hidden lines" then select the lines that don't interest you, right click on them => hide the lines
I know this method well to hide the lines, but it's okay when there are only a few...
I would really like to have the option shown by Glaffond.
To illustrate, see the capture.png
Hello
In fact, to be able to display the hidden edges of a component, you have to be in the "hidden lines deleted" mode. If you are in "apparent hidden lines", you will not have the option "show hidden edges". See attachment
Okay, that's how it works. In fact, it's the opposite of what I wanted to do... Too bad, it's more complicated than deselecting only superfluous components!
+ Impossible to do this operation on several components in 1 go.
+ Unable with routing subassemblies.
Thank you.
Hello
If you want to do the opposite, you go to the options=> Layout=>Display Style and you choose the poster style you want by default.
Then you will only have to modify the views you need in the other direction.
Have a nice day.
I tried by setting the default display style to "apparent hidden lines". It is then impossible to hide the dotted lines for a part or subassembly component. So, it doesn't work.
Hello
I tried it to disassemble you, so I put myself in standard in "apparent hidden lines" and only change the display style of my iso view (but it's the same for the others). I put it in shaded view.
By left-clicking on the desired view, the property manager appears on the left and in the display style you choose the one you want (see attachment)
Have a nice day.
