cannot hide pipe centerline

I put pipe_solid-centerline in no, I hide the pipes, and in drawing options hlr_for_pipe_solid_cl is set to yes for line removal as be in hidden.


but the pipes centerlines still showing in the drawings, simplified representations or not.


please, help

imade a search and this is what i found: [url]http://www.mcadcentral.com/proe/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26 172&KW=pipes+centerlines[/url]


check it out to see if you can find the answer there. hope it helps

thanks for your answer, especial.


The only way I found is blanket the blank_pipe layer, and hide the pipelines in the original.


Really, this problem it

I find this very annoying also.


I've got an engine from a vendor, and have many fuel lines, etc. and I can't hide the centerlines without going into each seperate part. 1/2 a mornings work.


Biggest problem is that many people print these drawings up, and don't know toohide these layers. Then they wonder what these lines are.


Need everyone to send this in as a enhancement request...

Dear forum fellows:


After a lot of work, I find the solution to this annoying problem.


First, you have to hide all the pipe line in themodel tree, one by one(showing as pipe extend idxxxx), then go to option to pipe_solid_centerline and put "no".


and the last one: put the layer tree, go to the piping_blanked_layer and blank.


A lot of work


I hope be usefull

Hi sbellido,

If you want to hide the centerline in the drawing you can use my mapkey. I created it on WF2 and didn't check it on other ver.

to apply it you should click PL (for pipe layer).
This mapkey creates a new layer "pipe layer"
steps:

1. click "pl"

2. select from the opened window the assembly view (if you have more than one sheet select the assembly view which relevant to the current sheet).

3. click resume.

4. select all the list from the left column and move it to the right column.

confirm this search window
confirm the layer window

resume the mapkey.

Maybe it looks comlicate but its not.

the mapkey also "save status".

Just copy and paste:

Orion,


Unless I've done something wrong, this mapkey doesn't seem to work in 3.0.


Would be nice though.

I always make drawing layers independent from the model. Then all you have to do is hide the layer in the drawing and all the pipe centerlines go away. Save the layer status and you don't have to worry about other people forgetting. I agree it is frustrating that Pro/E makes you deal with different types of entities in totally different ways but it has been like this from day one.

I use swept protrusions for pipes instead.
