Properties

View information. (Read-only.)

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

Configuration information.

  • Select one:

    • Use model’s "in-use" or last saved configuration. Uses the active configuration of the open part or the saved configuration of the closed part.

    • 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 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.

Balloons

Link balloon text to specified table. Assigns balloon numbers according to the selected BOM item numbers or weldment cut list item numbers. If you attach a balloon to a component that is not in the BOM configuration, the balloon number appears with an asterisk (*).

Show envelope (For assemblies only.) Displays assembly envelope components in the drawing view.

Align breaks with parent. If the view is a Broken View that was created from another broken view, select this check box to align the break gaps in the two views.

Display sheet metal bend notes.
