Graphic Replacement for Seam

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

You can customize generative view style parameters for seams. 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.

In regular view, the seam symbol is available only in top view. For more information about creating regular views, see Creating a Front View.

In logical view, the seam symbol is available in any view for both primary and secondary objects. For more information about creating logical views, see Creating a Logical View.
