View/Annotation Plane

This page deals with the options concerning:

View/Annotation Plane Associativity
Defines the View/Annotation Plane associativity options:

Create views associative to geometry
Creates views associative to the geometry, so that views and their annotations are automatically updated when the geometry is modified.
By default, this option is selected.

Filtering view display using a capture

When creating a capture:

Defines behaviors during capture creation:

Manage the visibility of Part instances, bodies and geometrical sets

Defines whether the visibility status of 3D part instances in products, bodies and geometrical sets in 3D part is managed by captures.
The same option is available in the Capture Attributes tab of the capture properties.
By default, this option is not selected.

Edit filter at the end of capture creation command
Edit the capture filter by opening the Filter workshop once the capture created.
By default, this option is not selected.

Create a dedicated capture when creating:

A principal view
Creates an associated capture when creating a principal view.
By default, this option is selected.

An axonometric view

Creates an associated capture when creating an axonometric view.
By default, this option is selected.

A projection view
Creates an associated capture when creating a projection view.
By default, this option is not selected.

A section view or Section Cut view

Creates an associated capture when creating a section view or section cut view.
By default, this option is selected.

When activating a view

Set related capture as current and unset others
 Sets as current the capture associated with an activated view and, at the same time unsets other captures.
By default, this option is selected.

Apply first related capture visual filter

Applies to the view its first related capture filter.
By default, this option is selected.

Apply first related capture view point

Applies to the view its first related capture viewpoint.
By default, this option is not selected.

Primary View

When selecting a reference element:

Change primary view plane
Allows you to change the principal view plane element during the view creation.
By default, this option is selected.

Resize view box according to 3D model

Resizes the view box once you have selected an element.
By default, this option is selected.

View/Annotation Plane Display
Defines the View/Annotation Plane display options:

Always hidden
Defines the annotation plane axis system to be hidden for all the views.
By default, this option is not selected.

Displayed for current view only
Defines the active annotation plane axis system to be permanently displayed for the current view only.
By default, this option is not selected.

Displayed for last selected view
Defines the active annotation plane axis system to be displayed for the selected view. If more than one view is selected, then the view axis of last selected view is displayed.
By default, this option is selected.
 
For this option, the view axis will be displayed only if the 3D-Annotation-Query Switch On/Switch Off option is active.

Zoomable
Defines whether the annotation plane axis is zoomable.
By default, this option is selected.

Visualization of the profile in the current view
Defines whether the current section view/annotation plane or section cut/annotation plane profile on the part/product is displayed.
By default, this option is not selected.

Dimension Default Position Along Normal View

Try to create in the annotation plane (Z=0)
Defines whether the application always tries to create dimension or annotation in the plane of the current annotation plane, when dimension or annotation definition allows to do it.
By default, this option is not selected.
  • The Try to create in the annotation plane (Z=0) option status is not applicable for annotation creation in the following cases:
    • Cone angle:
      The annotation plane passes through the cone axis.
    • Sphere/Torus diameter or radius:
      The annotation plane passes through the sphere or torus centre point.
    • Cylinder/Circle diameter or radius or thread diameter when the view is parallel to the cylinder or circle or thread axis:
      The annotation plane passes through the axis.
    • Dimension between two elements, one at least being a spherical element:
      The annotation plane passes through the sphere centre point.
    • Dimension between two elements, one at least being a revolute or a cylindrical element, when the view is parallel to the cylinder or revolute axis:
      The annotation plane passes through the axis.

 

Annotation Default Position Along Normal View

Try to create annotation body in the annotation plane (Z=0)

Lets you create the annotation body in the current annotation plane and specify the position of the arrow end of the leader based on the selected option between following:

  • Try to create annotation body in the annotation plane (Z=0): Creates the leader with arrow end at the selection point in the current annotation plane or out of the annotation plane.
  • Try to create leader extremity in limits: Creates the leader with arrow end at specified position with the annotation body created in a specified limit. When current annotation plane is not within the specified limit, a message appears proposing the creation of new annotation plane within the specified limit.
    You can specify the required limit in box next to the Try to create leader extremity in limits option. By default, the limit value is 2 mm.
  • Try to create leader extremity in the annotation plane: Creates the annotation body and the leader with its arrow end in the current annotation plane.

By default, this option is not selected.
