hello,
today i stumbled upon something i've never seen before. its a pink line. if i zoom out it looks like a dashed line, but when i zoom in it's like a normal line. i can't click on it, and never drew it in the first place. its not even aligned to a plane! It just popped up after i edited a cut sweep.
what exactly is this?
screenshot below:
The first place that I would check is here:
And go through the highlighted list and see if there is a matching color.
could it be a center line?
hmm,.. since you are selecting a cut-sweep,.. normally, the pink would be the path (the blue the profile).
I just had this same issue while working through the speaker surfacing tutorial. https://www.solidsmack.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Complex-Surfacing-Speaker.zip
The pink line showed up after the first boundary surface and would not go away. I had turned on curvature combs while creating the feature. After I saw the pink line and went back to edit the feature I noticed the pink line was exactly where one of the curvature combs were. I turned off curvature combs in the boundary surface feature and after rebuilding it was gone. I tried to repeat it to get screen shots but the pink line doesn't come back now, neither with nor without curvature combs turned on. I guess it was a glitch. Not sure if this applies to Erik's situation, but maybe helpful to someone else wondering what the weird pink line is.
I'm having a similar issue - swept boss using a helical path and rectangular profile (making a (almost) solid height square wire spring essentially) - an annoying magenta helix shows up (just outside the swept profile) that I cannot turn off, and it remains even when I drag the status bar above it, prior to the helix. It even remains after I delete the Helix, which of course also deletes the Sweep. So the feature is no longer there, but the helical magenta curve remains!
I have the same issue.
it's a pink circle somewhere around the start of a helix feature that is used for a cut sweep.
Even when deleting these features and it's sketches it was still there.
Even tried save as a different part and deleted the features, it was still there.
Eventually closed down SW and the computer and after starting back up the pink line was gone.
So cannot make a screenshot anymore.
I had the same thing e week ago but with the starting edge of a lofted surface.
Would not go away.
This was both in SW2020 sp2 and in 2 different parts.
He Erik, I had the same issue after doing a Boundary Surface with Zebra Striping checked.
I edited the feature and un-tick Zebra Striping. After rebuild the pink line in my part was gone.
Cheers,
Eduan
