More about Change View Support Dialog Box  

This section describes the Change View Support dialog box, which appears when Change View Support... is selected.
This dialog box contains controls for:
   
 

Support

  • Type
    Defines the annotation view support type
    By default, the type is View from Reference.
  • Reference
    Changes the reference support/3D viewpoint of the view.
  • 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.
  • 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.
