About a Layout from 3D Tolerancing & Annotation

• The same as the view type of the 3D Tolerancing & Annotation view, when generated from the 3D Tolerancing & Annotation view.
• The same as the 3D Tolerancing & Annotation view associated with the 3D Tolerancing & Annotation capture when generated from the 3D Tolerancing & Annotation capture with a view associated to it. This is possible when the capture does not have a viewpoint or a viewpoint parallel to the 3D Tolerancing & Annotation view plane.
• Axonometric in all other cases.

• The same as the view plane of the 3D Tolerancing & Annotation view plane, when generated from the 3D Tolerancing & Annotation view.
• The same as the 3D Tolerancing & Annotation view plane associated with the 3D Tolerancing & Annotation capture when generated from the 3D Tolerancing & Annotation capture with a view associated to it. This is possible when the capture does not have a viewpoint or a viewpoint parallel to the 3D Tolerancing & Annotation view plane.
• A viewpoint plane in all other cases.

• When the 2D Layout for 3D Design view is generated from a 3D Tolerancing & Annotation, an equivalent filter is created on the layout view from the capture.
• When the 2D Layout for 3D Design view is generated from the 3D Tolerancing & Annotation view, the default filter is applied.

• The bounding box of the layout view contains the 3D model; except the infinite elements (lines, planes, and so on.), the 2D, and 3D markers. When a view is created from a capture or a view, the 3D Tolerancing & Annotation elements are taken into account.
• The sections that are not parallel to the sheet are not visualized in 2D Layout for 3D Design.
• The section properties such as colors, shadings, and hatchings are not visualized in 2D Layout for 3D Design.
• None of the 2D Layout for 3D Design filters show or hide the status of the object seen when displaying a view created using this feature.
• As you cannot define the clipping frame on an aligned or offset section view with more than one subview in a layout, you cannot display the area of an aligned or offset section views created using this feature, by a clipping frame.

The callouts are automatically generated according to the following rules:

• The callout is created before the resulting view (based on the order of view in the tree) starting from the first view of the layout.
• The callout line intersects the bounding box of the callout view geometry background.
• The callout extremities do not intersect the bounding boxes of 3D Tolerancing & Annotation annotations or dimensions, or other callout extremities.
• In the case of multi-plane views, the callout extremities cannot be moved. They are placed according to the sketch definition of the FTA multi-plane views.

If a callout extremity is over the view text, the view text is moved according to the position defined in the standards.

• You can select a script for the creation of a frame and title block in a layout.

  To specify the option, enter the script name in Me > Preferences > App Preferences > 3D Modeling > Mechanical Systems > 2D Layout for 3D Design > View Creation, under View Layout.

• While creating a view, you can specify the default templates for frame, title block, and revision table through Me > Preferences > App Preferences > 3D Modeling > Mechanical Systems > 2D Layout for 3D Design > Layout, under Dress-up Templates.

• One view per sheet: You can create only one view per sheet. The scale of the view is maximized to fit the sheet size.
• 2D layout view bounding box: The FTA annotations that belong to the FTA view are considered while computing the 2D layout view bounding box.
• Sheet element bounding box: The existing element bounding boxes are considered while computing the available space in the sheet, so that the 2D layout views are not placed over the existing elements.

  If the 2D layout view does not fit in the remaining space, a new sheet is created and the 2DL view is placed in it.

The placement mode can be used only when you perform the below actions:

1. Select the View specification according to FTA view associated to FTA capture check box
2. Cleat the One view per sheet check box

Me > Preferences > App Preferences > 3D Modeling > Mechanical Systems

If all the views of the view set do not fit in the sheet:

• Either the rear view is swapped between left and right place. By default, it is placed on the right side for the first angle, and on the left side for the third angle projection method.
• Either some views are placed in another sheet.

The view set can only be selected as a group. While scaling the views of the view set, all the views are highlighted and scaled uniformly.

All other views that do not belong to the view set, are placed in the empty space.

While updating an existing layout, the following characteristics are followed:

• The existing callouts, corresponding to the deleted layout views, are deleted.
• The existing callouts corresponding to the layout views behave as follows:
  • The callouts are kept in the existing view and resized according to the resulting view bounding box:
    • If the view containing the callout is valid (=perpendicular to the resulting view).
    • If the callout intersects the bounding box of the view geometry background.
    • If the callout extremities, after resizing, can be placed without intersecting the FTA annotations or dimensions bounding boxes or other callout extremities.
  • The callouts are deleted and recreated.

While generating a component family, the view layout is run when the component contains a layout.
