2D Layout for 3D Design
New Functionalities
- Callout Creation for Auxiliary and Section Views
- Callouts can be created for
auxiliary and section
views using the contextual menu command
Add Callout in Another View and when using New View From
and New Section/Auxiliary View commands. They
have editable attribute properties. These
callouts can be extracted in the
drawing view.
-
DS ISO 1 Open Type Font
- This new font, based on the ISO 3098 standard defining text
representation, is delivered along with the application to ease the
exchange of standardized documents. Four new standards
(ISO_DS,
ISO_3D_DS, JIS_DS, JIS_3D_DS) are available that use DS ISO 1 as
the default font.
- Export to Layout View
without End Points
- When exporting a drawing view to a layout sheet, you can now specify
whether or not you want to create points at the end of geometrical items
which do not have any.
- Importing DXF/DWG to 2D Layout for 3D Design
- You can import DXF/DWG files in 2D layouts.
- Migrating Draw Data from .Model Files
to a Layout
- You can migrate drawing data from .model files to a Layout.
- Offset or Aligned Multi-Plane Section
Views
- You can now create an offset or aligned
multi-plane section view from a multiple segment profile.
Furthermore, you can create an offset or
aligned multi-plane section view from an FTA view or capture.
You can also learn more about multi-plane
section views, their sub-view boundaries and their properties.
- Upgrading Geometry in Views
- You can now upgrade geometry in views, which will let you benefit
from the latest technological enhancements brought to sketched geometry
in V5.
- View Orientation Management
- The View Creation dialog box now
enables you to define the view orientation when creating
auxiliary
views, section views and section cuts. The orientation of such views
can also be changed using the Change View
Support dialog box.
Enhanced Functionalities
- 3D Output command enhancements
- You can now launch the 3D Profile and 3D Plane commands when
right-clicking 2D geometry in a layout design view.
You can now enter a name for the
3D plane at the time of
its creation.
The 3D Profile command
now:
- - Lets you output several profiles in one shot.
- Displays an information message when activating any Automatic
Propagation mode while working with a large number of elements.
- Creating a Line Normal to a Curve
- The default command has been changed. You can now select a point on
a curve as a start point, and create a symmetrical line if needed.
- Defining Current Objects
- The Define in work object command is now available in the
2D Layout window.
- Font Linking Mechanism and True Type Collection Fonts
- The support for the font linking mechanism and TrueType Collection
fonts is available.
- Hide in 3D status in Specification Tree
- The status of elements in the specification tree after selecting
Hide in 3D option (using
Visualization tab in
sheet and
view Properties dialog
box) is now identified with a mask on the icon.
Customizing Settings
-
Tools > Options > Mechanical Design > 2D Layout for 3D Design > View
Creation tab > Callout area
- The Display "Callout creation" dialog box when running "New View
From" command option allows you to display a message box proposing the
creation of callouts of section view, section cut and multi-plane
section view when using the New View From
command.
-
Tools > Options > Mechanical Design > 2D Layout for 3D Design > View
Creation tab >
Multi-plane Section View Boundaries area
- The Display all boundaries but extremity ones option
allows you to specify whether or not all the boundaries in the
newly-created multi-plane section views should be displayed by default.
On selecting this option, the first and last boundary of the first and last sub-view
respectively will not be displayed. You can also customize the
appearance of boundaries.
-
Tools > Options > Mechanical Design > 2D Layout for 3D Design >
Visualization tab >
Layout Creation area
- The Default render style option allows you to select the render style to be applied by
default to the newly-created layouts.
-
Tools > Options > Mechanical Design > Drafting > Administration tab >
Drawing management area
- The Prevent view geometry
upgrade option deactivates the Geometry Upgrade contextual
command (used to upgrade sketched geometry in views) which is available
for layouts, sheets and views.
