View information. (Read-only.)

Model information. (Read-only.) Model information is not available for Detached views.

Configuration information.

• Select one:

  • Use named configuration. Uses a configuration that you previously created. For parent views (such as named and standard 3 views), select Use named configuration and optionally one of the Display States within that configuration.

• Show in exploded state. (Only for assemblies and multibody parts with an exploded view defined.)

Display State. (For assemblies only.)

For some child views (such as detail and section views) you select display states only within the selected configuration, and therefore the Configuration information is unavailable. Other child views, such as projected and auxiliary views, allow full access to Configuration information.

To access only the list of display states for a parent or child view, select the view and use the Display State settings in the PropertyManager.
