Quilted Hidden Line Removal

I've got something weird going on here. I'm working with an upper-level assembly drawing and some cosmetic threads are coming through as purple wireframe outlines (even though they should be hidden). My config.pro has "yes" set for "hlr_for_quilts."


Here's the weird part...the lower-level drawing of this individual part does not display the cosmetic threads as purple wireframe outlines.


Any idea whymycosmetic threads are showing in the assembly drawing, and how can I get rid of them short of spending an hourerasing them from each view?


Thanks.
 
Probably the setting in the drawing .dtl file.


"hlr_for_threads" and "thread_standard" must be set appropriately there are also a couple of other settings that apply to cosmetics in cross-sections (check the drawing that is working the way you want and duplicate.)


Hope this helps.
