Drawing displays edge that is behind a solid even when "no hidden" is used

Why do these edges display in my drawing view? They are behind another solid, and my display is set to "no hidden".

Are they surfaces (quilts)? And is your drawing view a x-section?

If it's not a x-section but try hidden line removal for Quilts in the view properties box.

If it's a surface model and a x-section, you will also need to flip hidden line removal for xhatches and edit your x-section in the model to include quilts.

It is a top view of a sheetmetal assembly. I tried the hidden line removal for quilts but that did not work.

I also tried playing around with part accuracies but can't get it to work.

It is an issue because a customer is complaining about it.

Is there interferences in your assembly? Often interference in assemblies cause hidden line problems.

There is interference where the lines shows through.

My next solution is to create cuts at these locations, but it will involve resetting several simplified reps, I didn't want to do that.

Thanks for the feedback. I thought maybe there was a display accuracy setting that I could change.

It doesn't work to create cuts at these locations because there are two bends involved. If the cuts are created in the master rep, the bend locations shift at this rep that I need. I also tried creating the cuts at the rep shown but that does not work because the reference features of the other parts are shifted with other bends. I am activating the part that I need the bends in from the upper assembly so I have reference edges to use. So, still no solution. If ProE displayed correctly at the drawing view I would not have this issue.

It's really difficult to follow exactly what the issue is with your feature creation. Can you share the models or if not, a representative model showing your process? Not being able to get a cut in the correct location seems to be odd. And I'm completely lost with the simplified reps.

I can't share the model because of IP issues. The short answer is the partial depth cut does not follow with the bend, although we have through cuts that do. We have a complex template - the subassembly shown has 7 sheetmetal layers with offset walls and several bends defined with relations (since ProE does not have assembly bends and thicknesses and radii vary with design). There are about 5 or 6 simp reps that have various bend states and /or part features removed. This is the first time I have run into this particular issue.
