Dear friends,

I am working right now in a project on my university and for this i need to draw several splined shafts

The problem is, in my country's standard (not sure if the same goes for ISO), it is required to show the cross section of any shaft that is not round. Also, this cross section must be drawn on the shaft's lateral view and it must either be filled with a solid color or hatched (and the lines behind it must be invilible). Below it's an example image.

I've had some success doing it when drawing just the individual shafts (but unfortunately only can fill with black color) but not on the assembly drawings.

My idea to come up with that was creating a section view, hiding all the lines that are not from the shaft and placing it over it.I've had some success doing it when drawing just the individual shafts but not on the assembly drawings. Two problems are:

1- some lines (especially wizard holes) don't go away with hide line command

2-i cant find a way to fill the cross section with a solid color or hatch it while hiding the lines behind

3- after i drop the line to do the sectioning, solidworks asks which featues i want to exclude, but they remain there anyway

any ideas?

thank you in advance!
