Graphic Replacement for Flange

You can generate the graphic replacement for flange using a Generative View Style (GVS).

You can customize generative view style parameters for flange. These parameters are shared by all structure apps. Customizing parameters in this file affects the appearance of your drawings and is an administrator's task.

For the sample GVS files, see 3DEXPERIENCE Native Apps Content Reference Guide: Samples for Drafting.

Sample XML File

In the sample XML file, generative view style parameters for flange are located in the TopView section of plate.

Flange

Draw
Specifies whether to draw the flange representation.

By default, it is Yes.

OffsetMode
Specifies the offset mode, either Absolute or Relative, to define the offset value.

By default, the offset mode is Absolute.

OffsetValue
Specifies the distance between the edge of the plate on which flange is created and the line which represents the flange. In the Absolute mode, the offset value is defined in mm. In the Relative mode, the offset value is defined in decimal.

By default, the offset value is 10mm.

LineType
Sets the type of line for 2D representation. See Near Side, Far Side, and Across Side View Types.
LineThickness
Sets the thickness of line for 2D representation. See Near Side, Far Side, and Across Side View Types.
LineColor
Sets the color of line. See Near Side, Far Side, and Across Side View Types.
