This task will show you how to lock views. This may be
useful if you need to modify a part without modifying the generated views.
For example, when you need to modify a constraint in the 3D but not the
generated views. |
 |
Open the
GenDrafting_front_view.CATDrawing document. |
 |
-
Right-click the view to be modified (either the view
frame or the view itself). A contextual menu is displayed.
-
Select Properties. The Properties
dialog box is displayed.
-
In the Visualization and Behavior area, select
the Lock View check box.
The other fields are grayed out, indicating that you can
no longer edit them.
-
Click OK to lock the view and exit the dialog
box.
The view is locked, which is indicated by a lock in the
specification tree.
|
 |
Once a view is locked, you will not be able to:
- create views from a locked view,
- create either annotations or dimensions on this locked view,
- update, delete or cut the locked view,
- move generated geometry, annotations, dimensions and dress-up
elements in this locked view. (However, you can still move a locked
view, as well as you can move 2D geometry added in a locked view.)
