View Style

The modification of a view style used as a basic style by another style will automatically cause the modification of the latter.

• Font

Allows you to customize the font of the view title (font, text height, ...).

• General title

Allows to add a title to each created view. The scale can be added to the title by clicking the button.

• Visible lines / hidden lines / visible smooth lines / hidden smooth lines / auxiliary lines / boundary lines / piping neutral lines / explosion lines

Allows to customize these lines types. They can be visible or hidden, and their attributes can be changed (type, thickness and color).

- Visible lines: External edges of the part.

- Hidden lines: Lines inside the geometry

- Visible smooth lines: Jonction edges between tangent faces, not hidden by the geometry.

- Hidden smooth lines: Jonction edges between tangent faces, hidden by the geometry.

- Auxiliary lines: Axes, ...

- Boundary lines : delimitation (mask, trim volume)

- Piping neutral lines

      - Explosion lines

• Visibility

By default, the visibility mode is the one defined in the basic style used. It is possible to specify another mode: visible or hidden

• Attributes

If you select the Attributes cell, you can configure the type of lines, the thickness and color (the button allows you to use the original color of the projected part). When changes have been made to the part color, you have to regenerate the drafting document to retrieve the new color in the views.

The "Half tone" cell allows the half tone of the selected color to be used.

This option allows you to modify the rendering of the view.

Four modes are available: The render defined in the basic style, the wireframe, the shading or the realistic rendering.

Transparency: allows to use the transparency of material (like glass) or of the attribute.

• None: we will not use the transparency.

• Material: we will use the transparency of the material.

• Attribute: we will use the attribute defined in the Design.

This option allows to modify threading informations.

Threadings can be not managed (No threading). They can also be displayed with thick lines (Simple threadings), or with fine lines (accurate threadings).

The treading views from the top can be represented by an arc by checking the 3/4 circle option, otherwise it will be represent by a complete circle.

This zone allows to customize cross sections (polygon, title, font, arrows, arrows and text positions, polygon color, ...)

• Polygon type

Allows to select a type of polygon. It can be alone, with arrows or complete with arrows and text.

• Title

Allows to define the cross section title syntax. Click the button to add the cross section name, To obtain A-A, click the button, add - (minus) then click again the button. This is the result: [$Index]-[$Index]. You can also add the scale of the cross section by clicking the button.

• Font

Allows to customize the font of the cross section title (font, height, ...)

• Arrow type

Allows to select in the drop-down list, the type of arrow for the cross section polygon.

• Length, angle of the arrow and arrow head length.

Allows to define different settings for cross section polygon arrows.

• Text position

Allows to position the text beside or behind the arrow by clicking the wanted icon.

• Profile extension length

Allows to define the overflow length of the cross section polygon regarding the crossed geometry.

• Arrow position

Allow to position arrows regarding the cross section polygon by clicking the wanted icon.

• Polygon

Allows to configure the polygon line type, its thickness and its color (the button allows to use the original color of the polygon).

The Half tone cell allows you to use the half tone of the selected color.

This option lets you force the color and the layer of hatchings.

However, the forced color has no priority over any changes you can make using the Edit contextual command on a hatched area.

This zone allows to customize sections (Polygon, title). Other settings (font, arrows, text and arrows positions, polygon color, ...) are inherited from the Cross section zone.

• Polygon type

Allows to select a type of polygon. It can be alone, with arrows or complete with arrows and text.

• Title

Allows to define the section title syntax. Click the button to add the section name, To obtain A-A, click the button, add - (minus) then click again the button.This is the result: [$Index]-[$Index]. You can also add the scale of the section by clicking the button.

This zone allows to customize detail views (title, font, lines).

• Title

Allows to define the detail view title syntax. Click the button to add the detail view name, This is the result: [$Index], You can also add the scale of the detail view by clicking the button.

• Font

Allows to customize the font of the detail view title (font, height, ...)

• Lines

Allows to configure the contour line type, its thickness and its color (the button allows to use the original color of the contour).

The Half tone cell allows you to use the half tone of the selected color.

This zone allows to customize views along a direction (title, font, arrows, text position).

• Title

Allows to define the view along a direction title syntax. Click the button to add the detail view name, This is the result: [$Index], You can also add the scale of the detail view by clicking the button.

• Font

Allows to customize the font of the view along a direction title (font, height, ...)

• Arrow type

Allows to select in the drop-down list, the type of arrow for the view along a direction.

• Length, angle of the arrow and arrow head length.

Allows to define different settings for view along a direction arrow.

• Text position

Allows to position the text beside or behind the arrow by clicking the wanted icon.

This zone allows to customize interrupted view lines attributes.

• Line

Allows to configure the interruption line type, its thickness and its color (the button allows to use the original color of the interruption curve).

The Half tone cell allows you to use the half tone of the selected color.

This zone allows to customize mounting stages title. Other parameters (font, height, ,...) are inherited from the Title zone.

• Title

Allows to define the mounting stages title syntax. Click the button to add the mounting stages name, This is the result: [$MountingStage], You can also add the scale of the mounting stage by clicking the button.

This zone allows to project detailings (sketches, points, dimensions and annotations) define in the document to project with Tools > Drafting > Detailings...

• Detailings are projected in drafting when:

Direction define in the Detailings command is normal to the view.

Linked entities are projected too.

This zone allows to modify projection tolerances.

• Projection tolerance

Enter linear and angular projection tolerances.. Lower is the tolerances value, higher is the projection accuracy, but the projection calculation also increases.

• There are 3 default view styles: Assembly, Part and Normal. The view style Assembly will be used by default if the projected item is an assembly. The view style Part will be used by default if the projected item is a part.

• Draft for Part: Detailed draft with, among others, hidden strokes and visible threading.

• Draft for Assembly: Faster draft without visible hidden strokes or threading representation. With this template, if the threading must be displayed, the style of the view must be modified and the threading must be changed to precise mode.

• The modification of a view style used as a basic style by another style will automatically cause the modification of the latter.
