Generating Hidden Lines
This section shows how to generate hidden lines and load the backup drawing (workfile.hid) produced just before generating hidden lines.
When generating hidden lines, Creo Elements/Direct Drafting does the following:
• Geometry is modified by splitting geometric components if they are covered by faces with a higher z-value.
• Shared parts are unshared.
• The parts tree, starting from the current part, will be smashed.
 |
It is recommended to store your assembly drawing (in workfile.hid) before generating hidden lines: 1. Click Hidden and then, in the Modify group, click the arrow next to  Generate.2. Click with Backup. The Generate buttons smash the part structure and create the hidden line geometry. |
