    Hello,

    I am followong regulary this newsgroup and found many good tips and
    tricks. Thank you all for this.

    I started my own bussines some 2 months ago. I must say that i am very
    pleased to have bought a sw2004 license. I'm coming from pro-e and
    this was making me mad with all the mouse clicks and the sea of
    options. For all you mold makers that have to work a lot with imported
    models en 3d milling en complex surface modelling have a check to
    www.delcam.com its just a great tool.

    My problem is the following.

    When i want to hide some edges in the drawing module. I select the
    edge and hide edge. But sometimes the edge stays visible. When i
    select the edge again the only option i have is show edge.
    Any one a solution for this problem. Because i find it very important
    to produce neat drawings.

    Regards

    Jean-Baptiste

    You might have to go through the painful change of changing the oreintation
    of that view and all the others (in the part) so you can see both edges
    causing the line to continue to show up in the drawing. Once you get the
    model turned enough and save under your orientation. Go back to the drawing,
    then you can pick on both visible edges and hide both of them. Then go back
    to the model and re-orient the model to the way it was before.

  5. try hiding the edge in the parent view if that is possible.
