View Dependent Edit in UG NX | Erase / HIde curves in Particular View

VIEW DEPENDENT EDIT IN UG NX

View dependent edit in drafting module is used to edit the display of objects in the selected view without affecting the display of same objects in other view.



In Ideas NX, we can hide the display of curves very easily and we can have more control on the display of curves.

How to Erase/ Delete curves or objects in Particular view in UG :

1. In UG NX Drafting model, if we want to delete curves in any particular view, then we have to use view dependent edit option.
2. Select the View Boundary . Right click and choose View Dependent Edit
3. In Add Edits section click on Erase objects.
4. Now select the curves, objects that you want to erase from this view and press OK

You can bring back these erased curves by using delete edits option in the same window.

This option would be very efficient when the views are in Associative mode.

But if the view is in Non associative or Extracted edges - None mode, then we can directly pick the curves and delete or hide them.

NX: Insert and Edit Crosshatch symbol NX 7.5 , NX 8.0, NX 9.0

Crosshatching command is used to create patterns of lines within specified boundary in NX in order to differentiate different regions displayed in drawing view for clear illustration.

How to Crosshatch in NX :

1. Ensure that you are in Drafting application. Now, Go to Insert - Annotation and Select Crosshatch
2. If you repeatedly using this function, then you can keep it in the main toolbar for ease of use.
3. Now , a Crosshatch window will appear which shows a set of required parameters to complete the cross hatch.
4. You can either use point in Region or Boundary curves as Selection mode. Boundary curve method is the most preferred one as it has more control over the selection of desired region.
5. After selecting the boundary curves, select pattern for crosshatching , distance , angle, color and width
6. After completing all the necessary parameters , press Apply or OK to complete the cross hatch.

To delete cross hatch in NX 7.5 , NX 8, NX 9 and NX 10 etc, just select the cross hatch using MB1, and press delete key in keyboard.

You can edit the crosshatch in order to change any settings you previously done.

You may receive Alert messages or error messages sometimes like, No closed loop of curves was found. Close Open loops or select inside a loop of edges or curves.

 In such cases you have to re-select the boundary curves to complete the crosshatch.

Cross Hatching : Applications and Representations | Representation of Hatching

Cross hatching:
Cross Hatching is a method of creating specific patterns inside a specific boundary inorder to differentiate the boundaries.
Cross hatching is mainly used in drawing representations and it is done following some standards like Angle of lines, width, Gap between lines etc.



Types of Cross Hatching Pattern and their applications , representations :

1. Iron or General use - Lines in 45' angle with equal gap in between them
2. Steel - double lines in 45' with equal gap between each double line
3. Brass/Copper- Lines in 45' with equal gap but alternatively breaking lines will be present
4. Rubber/Plastic-Four lines and equal gap followed by four lines in 45' angle
5. Refractory- One Breaking line between two lines in 45' with equal gaps
6. Marble/Slate/Glass- Breaking lines with equal gap in 45'
7. Lead-Wired pattern of lines
8. Aluminum/Magnesium - pattern of lines with thin and breaking lines at each side
9. Electrical winding-Similar to lead but exactly in opposite angles
10. Thermal Insulation- Thin lines at 45 ' overlayed by zig-zag lines.
