This is a common problem across many drawings, it can create confusion when giving drawings to customers as its showing lines from internal components that shouldn't be visible. Funny thing is if you zoom in on the drawing they disappear, but when printing or saving as a PDF they remain. Is this a setting or a bug? Would be great if there is a solution. This only occurs on shaded views.
I tried all those settings but they are related to curvature display.
Its a multi body sheet metal part, the lines showing through are from the faces mating to the inside of the outer shell. I also get sketches constantly appearing, usually after editing the sheet metal feature they are related too. I do a lot of sheet metal work and this is visible in any of these drawings. There is nothing funky going on with the sheet metal, its mated to the inside surface properly there is no overlap.

Maybe its something to do with how the lines are being rendered?
Hi,
Have you tried System - Display option setting "Edge display in shaded with edges mode" option " set to on for "Optimize for thin parts". See help below.

As Neville Williams says,.. this is something which does show up from time-2-time.. one other thing to is check the geometry. Sheetmetal creates some interesting transitions, edges and near overlaying conditions.. which sometimes makes the graphics think inside is outside or the geometry rendered triangles get flipped.
So,.. first, always do a Ctrl-Q... and see if Tools/Evaluate/Check or Tools/Geometry Analysis finds something?
have you tried to set the view to "Hidden Line Removal" ?
one work-around can be to select in tree-view-panel the body of that view, to hide them.
The problem occurs not only in Sheet Metal. I have had it many times when designing e.g. cabinets or elements of exhibition buildings. The only way to avoid this error (ha! Ha! Certified graphics cards, drivers and this is the effect) is to select only visible components (external) for display in the view. Unfortunately.
set the view to "Hidden Line Removal" ?
Thats a good work around thanks! Why didnt I think of that!
I've had this problem for years and unfortunately, there is no solution yet. Look for alternative solutions, as Krzysztof Szpakowski says.
The Merovingien a écrit:
set the view to "Hidden Line Removal" ?
to see if the problem appear with non-shaded view,
if the problem don't appear and if not needed, switch your 3d-view to HLR.
or toggle shaded view to high-quality, to see if it can change something.
also the "Image Quality" in document setting may have an effect on that problem.
This problem appear only with shaded view.

it's not just a shaded view.
normal...
zoom...
this was my question.
as said in the first message, the "document setting" may be interesting to test with, or without.
and/or adjust resolution (always document-setting)
in system-option / Display : try to totally disable the anti-aliasing
also, each shadew view are in witch quality ?
mix every setting together, in different combinaition.
Just to eliminate the obvious, check the following:
Have you fully rebuild your assembly without errors.
Check your assembly or multibody for interference
Do you get errors when you evaluate the assembly with stringent search active.
Are you in large assembly mode
Is the drawing view fully resolved and not in lightweight mode
Is the drawing view set to "high quality" and not "draft quality".
Does the drawing view remain in "high quality" mode.
Are the "bleeding lines" visible when you print to pdf or paper.
Do the "bleeding lines" show up in dwg or dxf export format.
Are you using perspective view settings
What system settings do you use under Performance options
- Curvature generation
- Ignore self-intersection check for some sheet metal features
Sheet Metal right? - this seems to rear up everytime I have to do a sheet metal drawing.
I have found sometimes it's not so bad. maybe related to thickness of SM??
I have tried turning up Image quality settings - not much change......
Maybe try options on this page.
Also anti aliasing under System /Display.
None of above does much apart from slowing down computer.
My best guess is a limitation in graphics rendering engine or card.
Other than that sorry not much help
