|
- Name
Specifies the actor name. This name appears in the Collaboration or Assembly tree and is the default tooltip text.
|
|
- Tooltip
Specifies the tooltip text that appears when you hover over the actor. The default is the actor name, but you can select a different property or meta-property, or type a text string. To type text, which itself can contain properties, select
String and use the
Tooltip string property.
Note:
By default, labels attached to an actor display the actor's tooltip text. To change this behavior, modify the label's
Text property.
|
|
- Tooltip string
(Available when
Tooltip is
String.) Specifies the tooltip text. Type your text, optionally with
property keywords. For geometry actors, click
 to display the
Text pane, where you can type multiple lines of text and more easily embed properties.
See Text pane for details on property keywords and the Text pane.

|
|
|
- Hidden style

Back line properties. A back line passes under
actors that are on top. You can define different styles for front and back
lines.

|
|
| Arrow shape
|
- Fixed Size Arrow
-
Specifies that the arrow size must remain fixed, no
matter what the zoom factor is. This ensure that the arrow remains visible at
all times.
|
|
- Fixed Length
-
Specifies the required length of the arrow, when
Fixed Size Arrow is selected. The
length is defined according to paper dimensions.
|
|
- Extremity
-
Specifies where to place arrowheads.
The
Head shape,
Head width, and
Head length properties define arrowhead shape and
size.
Tip:
To easily change arrow shape and size properties, drag
anchors in the viewport.
|
|
- Head Shape
-
Specifies where the arrowhead meets the shaft specified
as a ratio of head length (-1 to 1, with 0 being perpendicular).
Note:
To avoid deformed arrows, the value
range (-1 to 1) might be reduced when dragging the head-shape anchor
 in the viewport.
|
|
- Head width
-
Specifies the arrowhead width, in document length units,
as measured from the shaft centerline.
|
|
| 20
|
60
|
Tip:
To change head and shaft widths
simultaneously, drag the head-width anchor
in the viewport. To change just head width,
press
Shift while dragging the anchor.
|
|
- Head length
-
Specifies the arrowhead length, in document length
units. Changing arrowhead length does not change the overall arrow length
(Length).
|
|
- Width
-
Specifies the arrow shaft width, in document length units.
|
|
- Length
-
Specifies the arrow length, in document length units.
Note:
This property is disabled for linear arrows, when
Fixed Size Arrow is enabled.
Tip:
When changing the length of a linear arrow by dragging an
 anchor in the viewport, an axis line appears to help you retain
the arrow orientation. You can also press
Alt while dragging to lock the orientation.
|
|
- Flat
-
Specifies the flat representation of a circular arrow.
|
|
| Disabled
|
Enabled
|
|
|
- Radius
Specifies the radius, in millimeters.
|
|
- Step
-
Specifies the number of curve segments.
|
|
- Angle
-
Specifies the number of degrees (0 to 360) of a circular arrow.
|
|
| 90
|
270
|
Tip:
You can also change
Angle and
Radius by dragging the arrow in the viewport. A
dashed line shows the original radius. The arrow snaps to this line when nearby
so you can easily change the rotation angle without changing the radius.

Nodes not on the plane are projected onto the plane to define the polyline
shape.

Color = blue
Opacity = 255
|
Note:
Z-fighting can occur for filled

prevent Z-fighting, translate the polyline so it is offset from the 3D surface,
or enable
Stay on top.
