For a specific view, I can't figure out how to turn on/off the visibility of the welds for clarity. I can't find this feature when I try to manipulate the weld folder inside the view. Surely I don't have to use display states for this.
Also, I'm having a strange weld anomaly when I make a section view of the weldment. It shows the full weld bead instead of the cut section view of the weld. Not only that, the weld bead shows up in the various colors of the bodies I've manipulated via properties. Is that my graphics card messing up?
Hi Erica,
The only method I know of to not have the weld beads show up on the drawing is to switch the view to Hidden Lines Removed display state. That is of course without making a display state or configuration.
A configuration for the weld beads might not be a bad idea. That way you can always save the file with the weld beads suppressed to decrease file size and that way if you or another user do need the weld bead information or views all you have to do is change the configuration.
