Display

The Display options let you customize display of non-semantic annotation, annotation grid, annotation in Specification Tree, element analysis, restricted area, annotation parameters in Specification Tree, surface normal, annotation geometry, clipping plane and capture, for 3D Annotation Infrastructure.

This page discusses:

Grid

Display
Defines whether the grid is displayed.

By default, this check box is cleared.

Allow Distortions
Defines whether grid spacing and graduations are the same horizontally and vertically.

By default, this check box is cleared.

H Primary spacing
Defines the grid horizontal spacing.

By default, the value is:

  • 1 mm for Small range
  • 100 mm for Normal range
  • 1e+004 mm for Large range

H Graduations
Defines the grid horizontal graduations.

By default, the number of graduation is 10 for any range.

V Primary spacing
Defines the grid vertical spacing.
Important:

Only applicable when Allow Distortions is selected.

By default, the value is:

  • 1 mm for Small range
  • 100 mm for Normal range
  • 1e+004 mm for Large range

V Graduations
Defines the grid vertical graduations.
Important:

Only applicable when Allow Distortions is selected.

By default, the number of graduation is 10 for any range.

Non-Semantic

Mark non-semantic annotations
Defines whether non-semantic annotations (datum elements, datum targets, geometrical tolerances, linear, and angular dimensions) are marked with a wavy red line in the tree and in the geometry.

By default, this option is not selected.

Switch off text, Flag Note, NOA marking
Defines whether text, flag note, and NOA marking are considered as semantic. When selected, the text, flag notes, and NOA markings are not marked with a wavy red line. You can select Switch off text, Flag Note, NOA marking when Mark non-semantic annotations is selected.

By default, this option is not selected.

Tree

Display Annotations: Under Geometric Feature nodes
Defines that 3D annotations should be displayed under the geometric feature nodes in the specification tree. This lets you view 3D annotations under the Part Design or Generative Shape Design feature nodes to which they are applied.

By default, this check box is cleared.

Display Annotations: Under View/Annotation Plane nodes
Defines that 3D annotations should be displayed under the view/annotation plane nodes in the specification tree. This lets you view 3D annotations under the view node to which they are linked.

By default, this check box is cleared.

Under Annotations Set node
Defines that 3D annotations should be displayed under the annotation set node in the specification tree.
Important:

Only applicable when Under View/Annotation Plane nodes is selected.

By default, this check box is selected.

Elements Analysis colors

Activate elements' analysis colors
Click Configure button to define in Element's Analysis dialog box how to display dimensions using different colors according to their types (true dimensions, invalid dimensions, etc.).

By default, this check box is selected.

Capture display

Mirror annotations
Defines whether annotations are automatically mirrored when displaying a capture.

By default, this check box is selected.
