Lines in drawing view

[begelin]

Are they the Sketched lines? if so hide them


Click on the eyeglasses and look for the sketch icon

no i dont have any open sketches. ill try and explain as best as i can haha.


so i am designing like enclosed box trailer and the frame is built from a steel frame and when i sheet the frame on the outside with wood and cover it with the aluminum skin you still see the steel frame behind the aluminum skin and wood.

in a drawing when i put a shaded view of the entire thing those lines show up but only in a isometric view if i just do a regular top front side etc. view anything but a iso view they dont exist. im not sure the reason why. and in the drawing view it doesnt give me the option to hide the edges. like i said in the first message when i zoom in on the view in the drawing they disappear. and in just a regular hidden line removed display style they dont show at all only in the shaded with edges style.

sorry so long

thanks,
Bryce

I get the same thing. It's the video card. Is it qualified for the version of solidworks you are operating?

I forgot Ialso had to download an upgrade to my laptop video card

 

[begelin]

i dont think the video is qualified. i have checked.

is there anything i can do about it?

If its on the SW recomended list, you should be able to go to the card sight and download an upgrade if not you can always purchase a new card or you have to live with it
