Changing Marker Type

You can change the type of an already placed marker, so long as all the Marker references point to items that originate with a Marker tool.

To change a linked marker to a source marker:

1.Select the marker.

2.Open the marker’s Settings dialog box and choose the Source Marker option

The linked marker becomes the source marker, while the original source marker becomes a linked marker.

This function is available for:

Linked markers which are linked to a viewpoint/view/drawing that is located within the current project. The linked marker must have been placed using the same tool as the item to which it was linked (e.g. a Section marker linked to a Section viewpoint).

Note: A viewpoint’s cut/model attributes are defined by its source marker. If a linked marker becomes the source of a section, that marker’s cut/model attributes are now applied to the viewpoint.

Note: If you change a linked detail marker into a source detail marker, the viewpoint’s defining polygon will change to reflect the new source detail marker’s polygon.

Linked markers linked to an independent viewpoint of the same type.

The independent viewpoint is deleted and replaced by a source viewpoint. (If the original linked marker had no boundary, the source will take on a default boundary value.)

Markers linked to an external drawing cannot be changed to a source marker.

To change a source marker to a linked marker:

1.Select the marker.

2.Open the marker’s Settings dialog box and choose the Linked Marker option

The original source marker becomes a linked marker containing the same reference information as before.
