Missing View Edges

We have problems with view edges going missing in SW drawings on views
that are associated with section views that have a view break in them.
(I saw a similar post to this called "missing detail drawing view"
dated Jan 2008 but there were no solutions posted and I can't seem to
add to the discussion so have had to create this new one.)
The only solution so far is to jigger about with the views either by
shifting the break position or changing the display from e.g. shaded
to shaded with edges to wireframe and back again. That will fix the
problem eventually but if the drawing is opened again and the model
needs to regenerate that we're back to square one because the edges
disappear again.

Anyone still having this problem? Anyone got a solution?

Thanks,
Bill

 

hmm,.. try to apply a silhouette edge on face for that orthographic
profile and see if that works?

There is another thing you need to look at before creating any edges.
There is a setting for line quality in Document Properties. Your's may
be set too low. What SW does in a drawing with silhouette edges is to
iterate along the face till it finds the edge. The quality setting in
options determines how hard SW tries. It is a performance tradeoff. When
edges you know should be there are not then set the quality higher.

Thanks, Manager. We found that we had to set BOTH sliders to max to
get the drawing views to look right. P..., I should have mentioned
that it was ALL silhouette edges that disappeared, but they are back
now.

Thanks to all,
