Controlling the Display of Lines

Adjust the intensity of overlapping wire entities, such as hatches and patterns that may not display clearly in the solid mode.

\setint

 

 

When you remove hidden lines from the display, sometimes the overlapping displayed (nonhidden) lines appear weak or dashed on the screen. For example a hatch pattern (that is not hidden), subdivided into polygons (that are hidden) may not display clearly. Use this command to reset the line intensity so that all lines are displayed well.

With larger intensity values, the nonhidden lines are displayed more strongly on the screen. If the intensity is set too high, some hidden lines that are close to the front surface of the model may become visible. At a proper setting, the nonhidden lines are displayed distinctly and the hidden lines are completely invisible.

You may specify two independent line intensities, each from 0-100.
