NX Drafting Commands II: How To Show Hidden Lines
We will examine, using the views shown above, how to modify views to show hidden
lines, how to control the visibility of the smooth edges produced by adding fillets and
rounds to the model, how to insert centerlines, how to create an auxiliary view and how
to create and modify the display of various section views.
How to Show Hidden Lines
Select the view for which you wish to show hidden
lines. Move the mouse to highlight the View
Boundary (it may be turned off) and pick. Multiple
views may be selected by using the CTRL key.
NOTE: To restore an edge which was unintentionally erased, select Delete Edits >
Delete Selected Erasures. Then move the mouse to where the line was shown. It will
highlight and is selectable. Finish with OK.

When first created (and with the command still open), the
centerline will appear as shown.
If the incorrect surface is highlighted when trying to pick the rectangular view, simply
hover over the location without picking and the QuickPick dialogue will open. Simply
make the appropriate selection from the dialogue.
Option inferred means the software will help to set the line of projection. First check to
see if the inferred option gives the projection you desire, as in the example below.
Select the parent view for the construction by picking the view boundary.
A cutting plane line will appear at the crosshairs (do not worry about orientation yet).
Select a feature to define the location of the section (typically the center of a hole or
slot) as shown in the figure above.
Pick the next feature that the cutting plane passes through.
Repeat the process until all cut features have been selected.
Note: You do not have to reselect Add Segment. As long as the
command is highlighted in red, you can continue to pick cut
features.
Move the pointer over the cutting plane line and press the RMB
to open the menu. Select the command Edit.
