More about View Creation Dialog Box 

This section describes the View Creation dialog box, which appears when you select View Creation is selected.
This dialog box contains controls for:
 


Clicking anywhere in the geometry area is equivalent to clicking OK in the dialog box associated with this command.

General

  • Name
    Defines the annotation view name.
  • Type
    Defines the annotation view type.

    The options in the Type combo box are as follows:
    • Projection View: Creates a projection view.
    • Section View: Creates a section view.
    • Section Cut: Creates a section cut.
    • Axonometric View: Creates an axonometric view.

By default, Projection View is selected

  • Ratio: Defines the annotation view ratio.
 

Support

  • Type
    Indicates that the “View From Reference” is  selected in the Views/Annotation Planes toolbar.
  • Reference
    Displays the view reference geometry.
  • Isolated
     Isolates the view from the geometry. In this case, you will then be able to modify the geometry or the axis system without changing the view definition.
    By default, the view is associated with a planar face or an axis system.
    Irrelevant in axonometric view context.
  • Point
    Displays the point as point of view. 
    Relevant in axonometric view context only.
  • Invert normal
    Inverts the view orientation. When the view annotation plane is moved on an axis system, the Invert normal option is not available because the view annotation plane takes by default the axis system orientation.
    Irrelevant in axonometric view context.
 

Orientation

  • Irrelevant in axonometric view context.
  • Options defined in this section are not persistent in the annotation view properties.
  • Type
    Defines the annotation view horizontal axis orientation.
    The options in the Type combo box are as follows:
    • Implicit: Lets the application choose the orientation of the horizontal axis.
    • X Axis: Orientates the horizontal axis according to the X axis representation when possible.
    • Y Axis: Orientates the horizontal axis according to the Y axis representation when possible.
    • Z Axis: Orientates the horizontal axis according to the Z axis representation when possible.
    • Parallel to line: Orientates the horizontal axis according to a selected line when possible.
    • Normal to surface: Orientates the vertical axis according to the normal to a selected plane when possible.
  • Reference
    Displays the horizontal axis reference geometry.
    Available only with Parallel to line and Normal to surface orientation types.
  • Angle
    Defines the horizontal axis angle with reference geometry.
