- Display only captures: Displays captures in the 3D view browser panel.
- Automatically update view and capture thumbnails : Automatically updates the visualization of view and capture thumbnails. The update operation affects the background color defined by the chosen ambience. It also takes the current color of the 3D annotations into account. For more information, see Browsing Annotations.
- Keep selected features at capture display:Keeps the
selected technological features, visible in the capture. Note: If the selected technological features are highlighted or displayed depends on which row selection mode (Highlight selected features or Display only selected features) is selected.
By default, this
option is selected.
For more information, see Opening a 3DShape in a Favorite Context.
Favorite Context Specifies if and how you want to open 3DShapes in favorite contexts, select one of these options: - Always open in favorite context: The system checks whether a favorite context is attached to the 3DShape. If a favorite context is retrieved, the root product of the favorite context is added, instead of the representation.
- Check for favorite
context: You must confirm if you want to open the favorite
context or not. If confirmed, the system checks whether a favorite context
is attached to the 3DShape. By default, this option is selected.
- Ignore favorite context: No favorite contexts are loaded, only 3D shape representations are available.
Attributes Specifies the types of attributes to be displayed in the Annotation and Attribute Filter panel. - User Defined
- Tolerances
- Hyperlinks and Comments
- Failure Modes
- Requirements
- Geometrical
- Mechanical
- Electrical

Measure Select the Remove previous non-persistent measures check box to remove the previously created non-persistent measures when creating additional measures. By default, this check
box is cleared. In the Main value display table select the respective options in the Measure type and Unit columns for available measurement types.
These options control the measure value representations that are displayed in the measurement markers.
Units Lets you specify the units for mass, length, angle, volume, and area values.
Select the Display trailing zeros check box to display the trailing zeros in the work area.Note: For the interference result list and the exported interference result file, trailing zeros preference is not considered. By default, this check box is cleared. Move - First assembly level: If this option is selected, the first assembly level is moved by default.
