Changing the View Support

You can change the support of a section view, a section cut, an auxiliary view or an axonometric view.

Important:

You cannot change the support of projection views, views from 3D 3D Tolerancing & Annotation or filtered views from 3D Tolerancing & Annotation captures.

Before you begin: Open a 3D shape representation containing a layout and a section view, section cut or auxiliary view.
  1. Right-click the view frame and select Change View Support.
    The Change View Support dialog box appears.
  2. In the tree, select a view.
    The name of the selected view is displayed in the Reference box.
  3. Select the Isolated check box to isolate the view.
  4. Optional: Select the Reverse view direction check box.
    The direction of the view is reversed.
  5. Click OK.

    The support of the layout is modified. In the tree, a red lighting symbol on the view node indicates that the view is no longer associative.

    Important:
    • When changing the support of a view, or creating a view on a given support, the new view origin point is superposed with the support origin point.
    • 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.
    • To display the Change View Support dialog box, right-click a multi-plane section view in the tree and select Change View Support. You cannot change the view support if you right click any sub-views in the 3D area.
