About Views Created from 3D Tolerancing & Annotation Views or Capture

General Information

From a 3D Tolerancing & Annotation view, you can create only auxiliary views, section views and section cut.

Annotations

To be generated in views from 3D Tolerancing & Annotation views, annotations must fulfill all the following criteria:

• They must belong to the extracted 3D shape.
• They must belong to a view parallel to the extraction plane, whose normal is not opposite to the extraction plane normal.
• They must not be in No Show space at view generation or update
• They must not be masked by a filter applied to the 2DL view.
  • if there is a mask or an equivalent filter: filtered annotations are not generated.
  • if there is a display filter: listed annotations are not generated.

Associativity

• The 2D layout views are associative with the 3D Tolerancing & Annotation views.
• At creation, by default, the layout view name is the 3D Tolerancing & Annotation view name. However, this name is not associative.
• The layout view properties are not associative with the 3D Tolerancing & Annotation view properties. As for all other layout views, they are customized through Me > Preferences > App Preferences > 3D Modeling > Mechanical Systems > 2D Layout for 3D Design.
• At creation, the 2D Layout view scale is inverse to the 3D Tolerancing & Annotation view ratio.

Changing the View Support to an Assembly Support

When changing the support of a view to an assembly support, you cannot select a 3D Tolerancing & Annotation capture which is located outside the 3D shape.

Inversion

At creation or at modification, it is possible to invert the normal (N) of all 2DL views, except for projection views (Front, Rear, Left, Right, Top, Bottom and Isometric views).

Mirrored Annotations

When editing a layout from 3D Tolerancing & Annotation, mirrored annotations are displayed in their creation position, (both in the 2D layout views and in the 3D window). This ensures that the 3D Tolerancing & Annotation annotations are readable in the layout.

Offset Nodes

You can create a 2D Layout view by selecting the sub-elements of an 3D Tolerancing & Annotation Offset node, but you cannot select the Offset node itself.

Tip

When working in a 3D Tolerancing & Annotation context, you can enter the 2D Layout for 3D Design app each time you need to print complex drawings. Then you can print several views in the same sheet, display only relevant data in a view, include a title block, create a drawing.

General Information

When creating a view from a 3D Tolerancing & Annotation capture, the capture definition is saved in a layout as an equivalent filter (mask filter type).

Once created, the filters equivalent to 3D Tolerancing & Annotation captures are accessible from the Layout View filters dialog box and can be applied to any kind of layout views. However, these filters are not editable.

Note that it is not possible to create a view from a 3D Tolerancing & Annotation capture which is located outside the 3D shape.

3D Tolerancing & Annotation Capture Associativity

The selected 3D Tolerancing & Annotation capture must be associative with a 3D Tolerancing & Annotation view, because this view indicates the 2D layout view plane.

For more information, see 3D Modeling: Mechanical Systems: 3D Tolerancing & Annotation User's Guide: 3D Tolerancing & Annotation Display: Capture .

Visualization of 3D Objects

3D objects in the background of the created 2D layout view are visualized in the same way as 3D objects in the associated 3D Tolerancing & Annotation capture. Therefore, the content of the selected capture must be visible in the 3D Tolerancing & Annotation app to be displayed in the 2D layout view. Make sure that elements are not in No show mode when proceeding.

Equivalent Filters

• The Edit command is not available for equivalent filters.
• From an equivalent filter, the New from... command creates a classical filter, which is not associative with the 3D Tolerancing & Annotation capture.
• Deleting its reference 3D Tolerancing & Annotation capture does not delete the related equivalent filter.
• Only one filter can be created from a 3D Tolerancing & Annotation capture. If several 2D layout views are created from the same 3D Tolerancing & Annotation capture, the same equivalent filter is re-used to filter the created views.
• Once a filter has been created, its name does not support national languages (it is not translated).
• In the case of views created from 3D Tolerancing & Annotation captures contained in the same 3D shape, the view background filters only 3D Tolerancing & Annotation elements that belong to this 3D shape. In filtered views created from 33D Tolerancing & Annotation captures, sub-assemblies are visualized similarly to the 3D Tolerancing & Annotation capture.
