General Panel

Reference ID: This editable field contains the ID of the generated Detail viewpoint. The ID serves to identify the Detail in the project window and in the Navigator.

Name: Enter a Name for the Detail Drawing if desired. This name appears in the Navigator palette and the title bar of the Detail window.

Note: If you place a Linked or Independent marker that does not generate a viewpoint, the ID/Name fields are gray.

Use the next pop-ups to either place a new Detail Marker (Detail Default Settings) or redefine the selected Detail Marker:

To Place a New Worksheet or Detail Marker (Default Settings)

If you choose Create New Viewpoint:

select one of the items about which the Marker should display information:

the viewpoint

or

the first placed drawing of the viewpoint

If you choose Place Linked Marker:

select one of the items about which the Marker should display information:

a selected viewpoint

a selected drawing

the first placed drawing of the selected viewpoint

the first placed drawing of the selected view

If you choose Place Unlinked Marker:

the Marker will not contain any linked information; you can define a custom text in the Marker Panel below.

Reference to: shows the path (location in the Navigator hierarchy) of the chosen reference item.

Copy construction elements only: If this box is checked, only 2D lines/fills and construction elements from the model view will be exploded and copied into the Detail viewpoint (without dimensions/annotations).

For information on annotation elements cut by the Detail boundary, see Annotations, Dimensions and Markers Cut by the Boundary.

To Redefine a Placed Marker:

As needed, use the pop-ups to change the status of the selected Marker (either Source Marker, Linked Marker, or Unlinked Marker).

To redefine the Marker information: Choose from among the pop-up choices, or click the Browse button to select the viewpoint/view/drawing whose information you wish to display in the Marker. The available choices vary depending on the Marker status (Source Marker, Linked Marker or Unlinked Marker).

For an Unlinked Marker, enter a custom text in the Marker Panel below.

Marker Panel

Select Marker Type pop-up: Select a parametric marker from this list.

The chosen marker’s 2D Symbol appears in the preview window.

Define Marker size and pencolor.

Uniform Marker Pen: Check this box to use this pencolor for all parts of the marker symbol, regardless of any custom colors set elsewhere for this marker.

Marker Angle: Use these controls to set the desired Marker angle. Define the angle as relative to the screen, or to the model.

Enter a rotation angle for the Marker.

Use the two icons to define how this angle value should be interpreted when the element is placed:

Fixed Angle to Screen

Fixed Angle to Model: Marker will be rotated along with the view.
