Showing
Geometry in Views
|
This task will show
you how to visualize geometrical elements in all viewpoints as well as in
a 3D viewer corresponding to the views analyzed.
Note that you can analyze both text/dimension and edge type elements on
all the views of a CATDrawing document. These views can be views generated from an
assembly, a part or a .model. These views can also be interactive views. |
|
Before You Begin, make sure you customized the following settings:
Grid:
De-activate the Grid icon
from the Tools toolbar (bottom right).
View names and scaling factors:
Go to Tools->Options ->Mechanical Design -> Drafting
option (Layout tab) and
check the View name and Scaling factor options. |
|
Open the GenDrafting_part.CATDrawing document.
|
|
1. Go to
Tools
-> Analyze -> Show Geometry in All Viewpoints
menu bar command. |
|
Provided there is at least one link between the CATDrawing document and a
CATPart (or assembly, part or .model) a window appears with the 3D
model corresponding to the CATDrawing views. |
|
|
|
|
2. Move
the cursor over the geometrical elements on one view.
All the views are analyzed. The blue color corresponds to
the immediate edge. The red color corresponds to the adjacent faces. |
|
|
If the Animate option is on, the part
automatically appears with the optimal position (visually speaking). |
