Hello everyone

I have solved what i think is the majority of the problems I had run into going from MS to PS. However today i hit a glitch. Attached are two files. One is the written order i have used to take my 3d models from MS to PS. I sorted it out using a model, not teh one attached, i had made. Hidden lines show up fine with an ltscale setting of 0.5. It works fine. Then i decided to confirm the order would work with another 3d model. So i brought up the one i have attached. Going throught the exact steps everything works fine until i try to set the LTscale in step #14. No hidden lines.

I went back to an old email i had received from this group and tried shademode 2d, dispsilh and setting plotmode to hidden. It didn't work.

If i look at he model I can see and set the LTscale of the hiodden lines but when i go to MS i can't get any hidden lines. I was hoping that I could get you to take a look at the drawing to see what i am doing wrong. And, if you have time maybe check out my MS - PS procedure and see if i am making a big mistake somewhere. Chances are it may be hiding the hidden lines.

Thanks in advance for your help and if anyone want to use the MS - PS doc go for it.

A student just mentioned having the same problem. He said he made a new layout and set the view/shade to 2d wire. I just tried this and the hidden lines show up. Here is my new question.

Why did it make a difference if the 2d wire is set before making the solviews? In the version that works we set the 2d wire in the first viewport. It was made with mview. In the version that didn't work we set the 2d wire after using solview.

How do you screem on the computer?aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Hi

Within the actual Floating Viewports, ShadeMode is ( was ) not set to 2D Wireframe...

Set each Floating Viewport to 2D Wireframe, you should be then good to go with your Hidden Linetypes and a LTScale of 0.5

Have a good one, Mike

bingo. Thanks Mike. I just tried this and it works great. In my steps I have added the step of setting the mview to wireframe before using solview. That also seems to work.

Thanks again.
