Convert View to Sketch

Hello,

I made some products in SW and i want to show them in a perspective way. I did this by saving a view position and load this position into my drawing sheet.

This works fine, but when i want to show/hide edges/lines this isn't possible in a perspective view. So i found the option Convert View to Sketch, here i can remove the lines that i don't want to see in my presentation view!

Problem: when i print my drawing the lines are in a 'grayer' scale, is there a way to solve this (they are also less fluent, but this isn't a problem for me)?

Normal perspective view Convert view to Sketch perspective view

Thanks in advance!

Bryan

Correct Answer

You should be able to change those line colors, weight, etc. with the Line Format toolbar.

Unfortunately this isn't possible. When i add my view i don't have the ability too select the lines to hide/show them. I know how that function works. And its working fine when i choose for standard view orientations like: front/left/isometric/current.... view. But when i add a perspective view like this: Creating New View Orientation | Boxer's CAD CAM Blog i can't hide the lines. So i have to convert my view into a sketch, which has grayer colors

Thanks anyway for your answer
