Extracting 3D Spot Fasteners in a Drafting View

You must specify drafting extraction parameters in the GVS (Generative View Style) file and then, associate the generative view style to the view in the Drafting.

Important: To enable GVS, you must:
  1. Select Me > Preferences > App Preferences > 3D Modeling > > Mechanical Systems > Drafting > Administration.
  2. Clear Disable generative view style usage.

To specify the extract location, you can set two values:

  • Yes: The flexible fastener exact representation is extracted in Drafting (no symbolic representation extracted).
  • No: The flexible fastener is not extracted in Drafting (no exact or symbolic representation extracted).

In the following example, the node of the flexible fastener was added to the DefaultGenerativeStyle.xml file.

Flexible Fastener to Extract

If ‘Extract Location’ is set to YES, the flexible fastener component is extracted.

If ‘Extract Location’ is set to NO, the flexible fastener component is not extracted.
