How do I make a construction line visible on a hatched area (plain white color) that I have created?

Hello

I'm blocking a little bit and I just don't know if it's possible via SolidWorks.

In fact, on a drawing, I can't get my cut line through exactly the way I want it to. So I recreated a hatched area that I put in solid white color to symbolize my piercing as if the cut line was passing through it and hide the hatching of my basic cut view in the desired place.

So far, so good, so good, but when I draw a construction line to make my axis, the hatched area takes over my line and so I only see it at each end of my white area.

So is it possible to make my construction line take over my hatched area created?

I'm putting two pictures to illustrate all this because I'm not sure I'm very clear in my explanation.

Thanks in advance,

Pierre Louis

Hello

Why can't you get your cut line where you want it to go? This is not normal! If it is going to go through the drill holes, you need to be able to put a sketch constraint to the center of the hole.

There must certainly be an explanation.

Can you ask us your piece so that we can take a closer look at this?

Kind regards

Hello

in fact the problem is not really to place my cut line, but rather to the final layout of my plan (I crop half of the part to be able to fit the part at scale 1 on A3... )

In fact I wanted to "cheat" by doing this because it would have allowed me to reuse this plane as a grid for other parts which are almost identical except for the holes (number of holes, angle of starting from the drilling,... )

A small picture to give a glimpse of the final plan:

Hello

To do this, you must first place your centerline and then fill in the area. The first thing you do is a priority. see PJ

Hello

Thank you very much for the answer!

Indeed, it works well if I place my line before the filled area, but as soon as I change the style of the line to mixed or switch to the construction line, I automatically go back behind my filled area. Is this normal? I couldn't do anything about it?

try changing the line style before filling; normally it should stay.

no he doesn't want to know anything I tried to do my line before, to do it after, I started another plan from the beginning and it's the same. Obviously, I'm going to have to make up my mind, I couldn't do it this way.

Thank you anyway for your help! Good luck

Well, the only solution would be to redo your section, but first draw in a sketch line that goes through the middle of your Diams, then you click on the sketch and the cut tool to have your new view

And if you do that , you won't have to create an area to fill in because there won't be any material to cut. So it will remain white.
