[SOLVED] Missing lines between two parts

Post by kemes »

I'm using:

Code: Select all

OS: Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS (XFCE/xfce)
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.20.1.29410 (Git) AppImage
Build type: Release
Branch: (HEAD detached at 0.20.1)
Hash: f5d13554ecc7a456fb6e970568ae5c74ba727563
Python 3.10.5, Qt 5.15.4, Coin 4.0.0, Vtk 9.1.0, OCC 7.6.2
Locale: English/United States (en_US)
Installed mods: 
  * A2plus 0.4.59
  * fasteners 0.4.6
I'm trying to create an drawing view of an simple assembly. Some lines are missing in the areas where the parts meet. Would there be a setting to optimize the view so that that the lines would show up? The flange does have holes where the parts meet.

In the View settings, make sure Perspective is set to false as per screenshot:

In my case Perspective is set to false.

OK, could you please upload the file so it can be analysed, it could be something in your config files but it's best to eliminate the file first.

Plenty of errors loading on my box, the main issue which you didn't mention was you were using a A2Plus component with Fasteners placed as completely seperate items. I'm a big fan of A2Plus to do assembly as long as I don't need to make Tech drawings of them but if I need a tech drawing then I leave all objects as standard and use the transformation data to place them correctly. I've managed to come up with a solution for this instance and it's to create a Fusion of the 5 objects then create the View from that.

Thanks for the quick response :)

In most cases creating TechDraw views from A2+ components have worked great for me.

1) KeepUpDated = false ??? (TechDraw_PageDefault)
2) Hard Hidden show screws as independent parts.
