The section lines will appear in this patch exactly like they did in pre-V18 parts. A note to the user, if you do not want JIS section labels appearing at the section line bends in V18 or later versions, you should use the IS0-128 section line type. Otherwise, JIS section lines will create section line labels at the section line bends. 3. 2020443 & 2020444 and all revolved/unfolded detail section views with manually erased backgrounds: This fixed the problem where hidden lines were not being displayed. Now that they are being displayed, you may see unwanted hidden lines. In this case, you will need to apply view dependent edits to hide those curves. These PRs will be fixed in NX 1.0.3.1 and NX 2 releases. Please note that these fixes may or may not be in NX, NX 1.0.1.x or NX 1.0.2.x. In addition, if you have patches built on top of V18.0.4.2 or V18.0.5.1, those fixes may or may not be in V18.0.5.2 or this patch.
