View_Outside_of_Sheet

This check verifies whether the geometry of views is partly or entirely outside the sheet.

If so, the affected views are rated as incorrect. If a view is partly outside of the view and the entire geometry in the view on the sheet, the view is not rated as incorrect.

Context

Drawings are often plotted using automated applications. The plot area is usually defined by the dimensions of the drawing sheet. Geometry which is not positioned within the plot area will not appear on the plot. As a result, some information is missing.

In this example, all the views are within the drawing sheet.

In this example, one of the views is outside of the sheet and will not appear on the plot.

Applicable to: DrwDrawing
Automatic Solution:
Check Parameters:
  • Ignore_Background_View: Boolean type.

    If this option is selected as True, elements in the background view are ignored in the check.

    Note: By default, the value is set to True.
  • Ignore_Elements_In: String type.
    • Show
    • NoShow
    • Non-Visible
    Note: By default, the value is set to Non-Visible.
  • Ignore_Elements: Multi Value Parameter type.
    • 2DCircle
    • 2DConcatenatedCurve
    • 2DConicCurve
    • 2DConnectCurve
    • 2DCstPoint
    • 2DCstPoint_Tangent
    • 2DCurve
    • 2DCurveEquation
    • 2DEllipse
    • 2DFrozenSpline
    • 2DHyperbola
    • 2DLine
    • 2DParabola
    • 2DPoint
    • 2DPointOnCurve
    • 2DPolyline
    • 2DSplineCurve
    • 2DUnspec
    • AnnIndicatorEdge
    • AnnViewText
    • DrwAnnBroken
    • DrwAnnLabel
    • DrwArrow
    • DrwBalloon
    • DrwCallout
    • DrwCoordDimension
    • DrwDatumFeature
    • DrwDatumTarget
    • DrwDimension
    • DrwDimSystem
    • DrwGDT
    • DrwRough
    • DrwTable
    • DrwText
    • DrwWelding
    Note: By default, nothing is selected.
  • Ignore_Elements_In_Checkbox: Boolean type.

    If this option is selected as True, the elements that are selected in the 'Ignore_Elements' options are ignored in the check.

    Note: By default, the value is set to False.

  • Ignore_Element_By_Name: List (String) type.

    To exclude elements with certain names from the check, enter Regular Expressions matching the names of these elements.

  • Ignore_Visual_Clipping: Boolean type.

    If this option is selected, the entire geometry inside the view is checked.

    If this option is not selected, only geometry elements are checked that are located within the visual clipping frame. Drawing elements partly or entirely outside the visual clipping frame are ignored.

    Note: By default, the value is set to True.
  • Show_Features_outside_of_Sheet_as_View_SubItems: Boolean type.

    This option controls the degree of detail for visual error analysis for the Q-Checker analysis window.

    If this option is not selected, the analysis tree shows the views but not the particular geometry elements.

    If this option is activated, the particular geometry elements are displayed as sub-elements of views in the analysis tree.

    Note: By default, the value is set to False.
  • Tolerance: Real type.

    Specify the maximum allowed distance between geometry elements and the drawing sheet.

    Note: By default, the value is set to 0.
