AutoCAD/Tessellation Lines

Advertisement


Question
Can I turn off tessellation lines or set them to not plot.

1) 2005 full version
2) Plot solid models with round surfaces. Not rendered. Just hidden. Looked in Help and checked plot dialog box.
3) No results. Tessellation still plots.
4) Plot solid models with no tessellation lines.  

Answer
Sorry -- I looked too-- no suggestion is great
I have used all of these:
a - plot shaded, not hidden (not same as rendered)
b - explode the round stuff and erase the tesselation lines
c - draw a closed pl which emulates the shape of the item, placed in front of it. make it into a region, which will mask the lines on the solid
d - Draw it in ADT and convert it to a Mass Element
-- or use Inventor
Best I can tell you.
