More about View Creation Dialog Box 

This section describes the View Creation dialog box, which appears when you select View Creation is selected.
This dialog box contains controls for:
 

General

  • Name
    Defines the annotation view name.
  • Type
    Defines the annotation view type.

    The options in the Type combo box are as follows:
    • Projection View: Creates a projection view.
    • Section View: Creates a section view.
    • Section Cut: Creates a section cut.

By default, Projection View is selected

  • Ratio: Defines the annotation view ratio.
 

Support

  • Type
    Defines the annotation view support type.
    The options in the Type combo box are as follows:
    • Associative: Associates the view to another geometry: a planar face or an axis system.
    • Isolated: Isolates the view from the geometry. In this case, you will then be able to modify the geometry or the axis system without changing the view definition.
  • Reference
    Displays the view reference geometry.
  • Invert normal
    Inverts the view orientation. When the view annotation plane is moved on an axis system, the Invert normal option is not available because the view annotation plane takes by default the axis system orientation.
 

Orientation

Options defined in this section are not persistent in the annotation view properties.
  • Type
    Defines the annotation view horizontal axis orientation.
    The options in the Type combo box are as follows:
    • Implicit: Lets the application choose the orientation of the horizontal axis.
    • X Axis: Orientates the horizontal axis according to the X axis representation when possible.
    • Y Axis: Orientates the horizontal axis according to the Y axis representation when possible.
    • Z Axis: Orientates the horizontal axis according to the Z axis representation when possible.
    • Parallel to line: Orientates the horizontal axis according to a selected line when possible.
    • Normal to surface: Orientates the horizontal axis according to the normal to a selected plane when possible.
  • Reference
    Displays the horizontal axis reference geometry.
    Available only with Parallel to line and Normal to surface orientation types.
  • Angle
    Defines the horizontal axis angle with reference geometry.
