View/Annotation Plane

This page deals with the options concerning:

View/Annotation Plane Associativity
Defines the View/Annotation Plane associativity options:

Create views associative to geometry
Creates views associative to the geometry, so that views and their annotations are automatically updated when the geometry is modified.
By default, this option is selected.

View/Annotation Plane Display
Defines the View/Annotation Plane display options:

Always hidden
Defines the annotation plane axis system to be hidden for all the views.
By default, this option is not selected.

Displayed for current view only
Defines the active annotation plane axis system to be permanently displayed for the current view only.
By default, this option is not selected.

Displayed for last selected view
Defines the active annotation plane axis system to be displayed for the selected view. If more than one view is selected, then the view axis of last selected view is displayed.
By default, this option is selected.
 
For this option, the view axis will be displayed only if the 3D-Annotation-Query Switch On/Switch Off option is active.

Zoomable
Defines whether the annotation plane axis is zoomable.
By default, this option is selected.

Visualization of the profile in the current view
Defines whether the current section view/annotation plane or section cut/annotation plane profile on the part/product is displayed.
By default, this option is not selected.

Dimension And Annotation Default Position Along Normal View

Try to create in the annotation plane (Z=0)
Defines whether the application always tries to create dimension or annotation in the plane of the current annotation plane, when dimension or annotation definition allows to do it.
By default, this option is not selected.
  • The Try to create in the annotation plane (Z=0) option status is not applicable for annotation creation in the following cases:
    • Cone angle:
      The annotation plane passes through the cone axis.
    • Sphere/Torus diameter or radius:
      The annotation plane passes through the sphere or torus centre point.
    • Cylinder/Circle diameter or radius or thread diameter when the view is parallel to the cylinder or circle or thread axis:
      The annotation plane passes through the axis.
    • Dimension between two elements, one at least being a spherical element:
      The annotation plane passes through the sphere centre point.
    • Dimension between two elements, one at least being a revolute or a cylindrical element, when the view is parallel to the cylinder or revolute axis:
      The annotation plane passes through the axis.
