So there is a solution for the disturbed curves. Glad to here!

I compared a Drawing projection from
OS: Debian GNU/Linux 8.0 (jessie)
Word size: 64-bit
Version: 0.15.3779 (Git)
Branch: master
Hash: 4b8f262157ad843897cca695d0492fd281eb41bd
Python version: 2.7.7
Qt version: 4.8.6
Coin version: 4.0.0a
SoQt version: 1.6.0a
OCC version: 6.7.1

with

OS: Windows XP (Wine)
Word size: 32-bit
Version: 0.14.3700 (Git)
Branch: releases/FreeCAD-0-14
Hash: 32f5aae0a64333ec8d5d160dbc46e690510c8fe1
Python version: 2.6.2
Qt version: 4.5.2
Coin version: 3.1.0
SoQt version: 1.4.1
OCC version: 6.5.1

The projection with OCC 6.5.1 has not the much visible hidden lines, where as the projection with OCC6.7.1 looks like yours except that it has also the disturbed lines.
Was there a change in the api for the projection function between those OCC releases?

I don't think so. But surely there are now lines visible which should not be there. In my understanding the visible outline should not contain intersecting edges. I reported this as http://tracker.dev.opencascade.org/view.php?id=25776

Ulrich, can you see if issues are still reproducible with OCC7.1 ? (even though @shoogen's upstream ticket hasn't seen any progress)

With OCC 6.8.0, marginal improvement:

Thanks NormandC, I've notated issue #1937. Is there anyone that can bump the upstream ticket shoogen created?

What's really odd is that I don't get as nearly garbled projections with a newly built swept helix, compared to ulrich1a's original model.

Should be improved by git commit 052704eb.

Still an issue with the ID of the top view, I think.
