Auxiliary View PropertyManager

The Auxiliary View PropertyManager appears when you create a new Auxiliary View in a drawing, or when you select an existing Auxiliary View.

To open this PropertyManager:

Click Auxiliary View Tool_Auxiliary_View_Drawing.gif (Drawing toolbar), or click Insert > Drawing View > Auxiliary.

Reference Configuration

Available when editing existing projected views.

PM_config_Named_View.gif Configuration name Lets you change drawing view configurations.
  Select Bodies Lets you select the bodies of a multibody part for inclusion in the drawing view. For flat patterns of multibody sheet metal parts, you can use one body per view.

Arrow

  Arrow Select to display a view arrow (or set of arrows in the ANSI drafting standard) indicating the direction of the auxiliary view.
PM_label.gif Label Type text to be displayed with both the parent view and the auxiliary view. Specify the label display in Tools > Options > Document Properties > View Labels > Auxiliary.
  Flip direction Changes the direction of the view arrow.

Options

Annotation view(s) Select an annotation view (if the model was created with annotation views) so the detail view will include annotations from the parent view.

Display State

For assemblies only. Select a display state of the assembly to place in the drawing.

The hide/show display_pane_column_hideshow.gif display state is supported by all display styles. Other display states (display mode display_pane_column_display_mode.gif, color display_pane_appearance.gif, etc.) are supported by Shaded with Edges Tool_Shaded_With_Edges_View.png and Shaded modes Tool_Shaded_View.png only.

Display Style

Use parent style Clear to select style and quality settings different from those of the parent view.

Click a display style.

Select High quality or Draft quality to set the display quality of the model. This is available only when Display quality for new views is set to Draft quality. If you select High quality, these options do not appear again.

Scale

Select a scale for the drawing view.

Dimension Type

Select Projected or True dimensions.

Cosmetic Thread Display

The following settings override the Cosmetic thread display option in Tools > Options > Document Properties > Detailing, if there are cosmetic threads in the drawing view.

High quality Displays precise line fonts and trimming in cosmetic threads. If a cosmetic thread is only partially visible, High quality shows only the visible portion (it shows precisely what is visible and what is invisible.)
System performance is slower with High quality cosmetic threads. It is recommended that you clear this option until you finish placing all annotations.
Draft quality Displays cosmetic threads with less detail. If a cosmetic thread is only partially visible, Draft quality shows the entire feature.

More Properties

After you create a view or select an existing view, click More Properties to open the Drawing View Properties dialog box where you can change configuration information, show hidden edges, and so on.
