Drawing - Hidden Edges in Solid Line -

In a drawing, if you want your hidden edges to appear as dashed lines but they show up as solid lines, it can be problematic...

How to solve this issue?
What to do when broken lines appear as solid in SOLIDWORKS document properties?

 

 

 

 

 

Problem: When working in SOLIDWORKS, sometimes lines can appear as continuous in the document properties, which can make your drawing or model hard to read and lead to production errors.

Check the source of the problem:

The property file used in your drawing may be corrupted due to an imported DWG/DXF file or may be improperly configured.

Open a functional drawing or drawing template to compare and detect any anomalies in the defective file's settings.

 

Go to Options > Document Properties > Line Style

Solution: Modify the Document Property File

Reinsert a clean property file:

  1. Download this standard and functional .sldlin property file.
  2. To reinsert a proper file, go to Option > Document Properties > Line Style > Load
  3. Select the path of the file you just downloaded.
  4. Select all lines by holding down the "Ctrl" key on your keyboard.
  5. Click OK.
