Detail View PropertyManager

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

Detail Circle

  • Style . Select a display style, then select either Circle or Profile. Per Standard means that the style of the detail circle is determined by the current drafting standard.

  • Label . Edit the letter associated with the detail circle and detail view. To specify the label format, click Tools, Options, Document Properties, View Labels, Detail.

  • Font. To choose a font for the detail circle label other than the document's font, clear Document font and click Font.

Detail View

  • Full outline.

 

Selected

Cleared

  • Pin position. Select to keep the detail view in the same relative position on the drawing sheet if you change the scale of the view. If the geometry changes size, the detail circle moves if you relate the center of the detail circle to a feature in the model.

  • Scale hatch pattern. Select to display the hatch pattern based on the scale of the detail view rather than the scale of the section view. This option applies to detail views created from section views.

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.

The hide/show display state is supported by all display styles. Other display states (display mode , color , etc.) are supported by Shaded with Edges and Shaded modes only.

Display Style

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

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

You can also double-click the note text and edit the scale values to change the detail view scale.

Dimension Type

Cosmetic Thread Display

The following settings override the Cosmetic thread display option in Tools, Options, Document Properties, Detailing.

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.

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.
