I having problems in the post processor displaying body boundaries, how do I
get all the edges that appear in the pre-processor to exist as boundaries in
the post processor?

e.g. draw a cone (geometry:create:object:cone)and mesh it & transfer to the
postprocessor (style:body bound), none of the lines from the vertex to the
base are shown except at the very tip?
this makes it very difficult to do line graphs.

P.S. this is not new, it's been bugging me for a long time.

In posprocess only can access to mesh entities, not to geometric lines (like
a cone generatrix),
and geometric lines in general doesn't generate mesh boundaries (only outer
boundary and sharp angles between elements are considered as boundaries.
Note: you can set this "sharp edge tolerance" angle in posprocess:
Options-Geometry-Border angle)

In other hand, last GiD version have a new graph feature:
Can create a graph between two points, without need to create a cut, convert
to set, and create another cut to have the required straight segment.
menu: View Result-Graph-Line graph

Also exists a new window to create graphs, and change its properties: menu
Window-View graphs

Hello, there is the option from the top menu bar 'Options-Geometry-Border
angle' from which you can choose at which angle between elements, the shared
edge should be considered a boundary.

But, to create a line graph, you can also use 'View results-Graphs-Line
graph' to create a line graph across the volume, instead of the border
graph. ¿Is that what you want to do?
