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.
