About the Representation of 2D Spot Fasteners

This sub-topic focuses on the representation of the 2D symbol.

	=>
3D spot symbol		generated 2D spot symbol

This is the mapping between the 3D graphic symbol and its generated 2D symbol:

• The 2D fastener symbol is visualized in the 2D drawing document view according to its 3D graphic symbol and providing it is in Show and its 3D technological symbol is visualized. It is made of a support, a mark and an optional fill color.
• In case the 3D spot fastener symbol has a mark, this mark is generated in the drafting view:

  	=>

• In case the 3D spot fastener symbol has a color, this color is generated in the drafting view:

• You can add 2D symbols to the 2D technological fastener symbol to display other fastener parameters (such as assembly type, head type, etc.):

  2D symbol	Name
  	Symbol 1
  	Symbol 2
  	Symbol 3
  	Symbol 4
  	Symbol 5

  
  
  
• The 2D fastener representation is located on the projection of the 3D fastener location. It is not oriented in the drawing view, i.e. the fastener axis system (I, J, K) is not taken account.

  Notes:

  • The reference drawing representation contains only unitary 2D components (2D color symbol, 2D support symbol, 2D mark symbol and 2D additional symbols).
  • The 2D fastener representation is generated (depending on drafting extraction parameters) provided that the fastener location is included into the result generated view. In this case, the entire 2D representation is represented. Conversely, if the spot fastener location is not included in the resulting drafting view, the associated 2D representation is not generated at all (there is no partial representation of 2D symbol).
  • Symbols can be stored using the Data Setup app. For more information, see the Data Setup User's Guide.

Following the standard extraction process, during the update of the drawing view, 2D spot representations (i.e. 2D symbol) are deleted and new ones are created.

Therefore, all 2D elements (Balloon, Datum Target, Text With Leader) associated to these 2D spots elements are no longer associated to their parent elements after the update. If you move the generated 2D spot elements on the drawing view after the update, they are automatically repositioned (because deleted or created) at their original position.
