Line Render Options

View > Rendering

Use the line render options to control the appearance of lines in Hidden Line, Dashed Hidden Line, and Final Shaded Polygon modes. These settings apply only to the current drawing; they remain in effect in the current drawing until the settings are changed. The current line render settings are saved when you create a template (see Concept: Templates).

To set line rendering options:

Select the command. The Line Render Options dialog box opens, set the parameters.

Alternatively, if a different render mode is active, select the command under Options For Other Render Modes in the Current Render Mode menu on the View bar.

Smoothing Angle

Sets the angle to reduce facet lines when the Hidden Line, Dashed Hidden Line, or Final Shaded Polygon mode is selected; if the value is greater than zero, facet lines will be removed between any two faces of an object that are within that angle of each other
