For the past few days, I've been passionate about SolidWorks 2014.
(Without a job obliges, to occupy my head)
I've already achieved a lot of things, with the help of tutorials that I've taken here and there. (Video and PDfs)
So I come to glean the advice of experienced users or keen amateurs.
My first questions will be: On a sketch, to erase a line, an arc of a circle, an edge, etc... just use the "Fit features" function.
Is there a similar command to erase on a 3D surface?
(For example, the unsightly line that marks the junction of a ray with a straight line, and which remains visible after bossing or extruded)
My second question: On a 3D piece that I gave a brass metal appearance, in a bore with shoulder, the junction between this shoulder and the background remains in light blue, while everything else is the right color. (Even another bore on the other side)
What makes me get his blue lines?
Is it possible to change this color?
Is it possible to have edges of a color other than black? (For example, dark brown for a light brown piece)
If I understood your 1st question correctly, the line is still visible unless you change the visualization to real view:
Viewing > View > RealView graphics.
2nd question:
To change the colors of the edges, if I'm not mistaken, it's not possible, we can just change the color of the body face or full 3D, see the following link:
@viking, when you insert an image, wouldn't you accidentally click on "publish". This button does not publish the image, but the entire post. Wouldn't that be your concern?
To come back to your questions and complete what my classmates mentioned, the adjust tool can be used very easily with the first option: smart adjustment. You left-click in your graphics window, and by holding the click and moving the mouse, all the strokes you cross will be cut off to the next intersections.
As for the edge colors, they can be changed, but only massively (all red, all yellow,... In Tools/Options/Colors) there is no option as you describe it (I've already seen this on SolidDesigner but not possible on SW.
For tangent edges on 3D, I think you can't hide them alone. But in the drawings it's possible.
Come on, come back, it's one of the best places to answer your questions... ;-)
I come back to the question of whether or not the decrees are displayed.
In the main window, at the top, click on the 6th icon (a half-transparent and blue cube) and make the different displays, there will inevitably be one you like.
To answer the question about the color of the edge on a 3D part, simply uncheck the option "use the specified color for edges in shaded image mode". Otherwise, the color of these edges will be the one configured in the color settings. See attached image for more understanding.
