Applying the Generative Style of a View to Another View

Generative view styles are defined by an administrator and specify the appearance and behavior of a generated view. You can, however, apply the generative view style used to create a given view to another view. This topic explains how to achieve this task.

Before you begin:
  • Open a drawing representation.
  • Create a front view using a specific generative view style. In our example, we have specified that hidden edges should be displayed in orange, using a specific linetype and thickness.
  • Create an isometric view with another generative view style.

    Important: If you clear Disable generative view style usage check box in Me > Preferences > App Preferences > 3D Modeling > Mechanical Systems > Drafting > Administration tab, under Generative view style, then the 3D colors check box is not available in the Properties > Generation tab any more.
  2. Right-click the front view and select Front view object > Generative View Style > Apply View Style to.
  3. Click the isometric view to indicate that you want to apply to it the generative style of the front view.

    The isometric view is updated and the generative view style of the front view is applied to it.
