Dress-Up Elements

Dress-up commands are documented in the Interactive Drafting user's guide. As such, the information detailed in this section is presented in an Interactive Drafting context. 

 

Still, you can open the GenDrafting_part.CATDrawing document and thus manipulate annotations and dress-up elements in a Generative Drafting context.

 

This dress-up will be associative to the elements created from a part or an assembly. When created, these elements are associated with a view.

 

Note that if  you delete generated center lines, threads or axis lines, you will NOT be able to generate them again (by updating the drawing). It is impossible to restore generated center lines, threads or axis lines that have been deleted.
