HD49163: GENERATIVE DRAFTING - 3D LINES SHOWN IN DRAWING DO NOT SHOW AS A POINT IN A SECTION VIEW

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• 3D lines shown in drawing do not show as a point in
  a Section View. The point must show and be able to
  constrain draw line. If you follow the same scenario
  using Section Cut the Point will display.
  Scenario:
  1- Create a new CATPart and create a line in Z
  direction.
  2- Create a new CATDrawing.
  Create a Front view using the YZ plane.
  3- Under the view Properties, activate 3D Points
  and 3D Wireframe - Set "Is always visible".
  4- Create a Section View through the Front view of
  the projected line.
  Result:
  The cut of the Line does not show as a point.
  Expected Result:
  The desired result is to have the cut 3D line show
  as a point.

  MODIFICATION:
  Properties available on generative views -
  3D wireframe :
  "Whichever option you choose, note that linear
  elements will not be projected as points when they
  are perpendicular to the projection plane, in section
  views and projection views.
  The section cut is a particular case: after the cut
  operation, it considers a wireframe as a series of
  points. To visualize them, check the two options
  Project 3D wireframe and Project 3D points are
  selected (in Tools > Options > Mechanical Design >
  View tab)."
