I get these holes to show through 3/4" thick parts and even when I save a PDF these ghost lines transfer through. How to eliminate this graphics glitch? Sorry if they are hard to see, they look like dust on the screen but when you zoom in on a PDF, it is definitely there.
It has to do with the graphics card/pdf combo
Do you have this option selected?
In the model, there are blind holes on the other face of this part - they are showing through the part for some reason. This is not the only place in the assembly I'm seeing this - it is throughout and on other products as well. I tried with and without HLR \ Optimize selected but see them either way. Here is what it looks like on a side view when I zoom into the PDF
Try View > All Annotations
When nothing else works, you could always right click the lines and hide them from the view. Or aren't they clickable?
They are not clickable, they are ghosts of sketches on an unseen face or something similar. The only solution I have found so far (since these drawings need to go to customers) is to create a configuration of each misbehaving part and suppressing those features "ghosting" through.
Hello,
Instead of suppressing, try hiding the sketches so any dependent features aren't affected.
Cheers,
Kevin
Can you be more specific please? Hiding them in drawing as one of the "Types" to hide or in the model? Either way - this doesn't seem to be the solution.
Hello,
You can hide the sketches in the model and any features generated from them will still function unlike what would happen if you suppressed them.
This may save you from having to make configurations.
Cheers,

I think what Alex is referring to is the part edge of a cut or boss extrude, this has nothing to do with the sketches etc.. Any bleed through like that is definately graphic card issues.....
Hello,
I agree, that's the most likely culprit.
Alex:
1) Are there others there who can open the file and see if this is repeated?
2) Can you post the file here on the forum for the collective we to try out?
Cheers,
Kevin
Also:
1) Is this the first time you've seen this?
2) Is this only happening to this one file? If so, and you can post it, a fellow forum member can make you a PDF and so you can at least move on for now and attend to other matters.
Cheers,
Kevin
I narrowed down the assembly to 2 parts I can share - it seems to be only happening on holes that are lined up to each other such as dowel holes on mating parts.
Here is a screenshot from Solidworks showing the culprits and you can see the graphics error too. I don't understand why I would be getting a graphics error if I am using a Quadro 2000 (solidworks recommended!) graphics card.
Can someone open this zipped assembly and see what I see? http://www.filedropper.com/ghosts
That link is broken and there is no need to use a third party file host.
Just ZIP (or Pack and Go) the assy & parts, and upload them here using the Use advanced editor link at the top RH corner of the Reply box.
Sorry, didn't know where to attach.
I dont see any hole showing through the material (openned in SW2016 SP2.0). so can't help - sorry
check one thing - when you click inside drawing view - look on the property on the right if the view is showing in 'high quality'
That did work for a small assembly of 11 parts but seems not to help on larger ones. I'll try again. Thank you
I do not see the holes bleeding through with SW16.
Which graphics driver are you using with the Quadro 2000 graphics card?
This type of graphic anomaly is typical if a mismatched card & driver combination is used.
Run the SolidWorks Rx > Diagnostics tool to check driver suitability.
Hello,
There's another set of the same thing to the left of the red ellipse.
They appear to be the same "shape" but mirrored.
There's nothing in the model creating this?
Cheers,
Kevin
