Viewing Sheet Annotations in a 3D Design Model

The annotations applied in a drawing or sheet model can be viewed in a 3D design model using the Display Sheet Annotations tool in the Mini toolbar.

The annotations in the model selected in the Open Target drop-down are displayed using this tool. So if the Open Target drop-down list has a drawing model selected, the annotations in that drawing model only are displayed. Similarly, if the Open Target drop-down has a sheet model selected, the annotations available in the sheet model are displayed. Also, if this sheet model has a drawing model attached, then the annotations in the drawing model are also displayed.

Opening a Reference Sheet or Drawing Model from a Marker in a 3D Design Model

The Open Target tool in the Mini toolbar can be used to open a drawing or sheet model from a callout in a 3D design model. The drop-down next to the Open Target icon lists the models in which the saved view is placed.

The model selected in the drop-down list of this tool is used by other tools in the Mini toolbar. For example, the Display Sheet Annotations tool displays the annotations displayed in the model selected in this drop-down list, and the Apply View tool uses the model selected in this drop-down list to get the view attributes settings, level settings, and annotations.

Clipping a Model from a Callout in a 3D Design Model

In a 3D design model, you can clip a model along the boundary of a callout using the Clip Model by Callout tool in the Mini toolbar.

Opening a Sheet Model from a Drawing Boundary

The Open Sheet Model tool can be used to open the sheet model from a drawing boundary displayed in a 3D design model. In a 3D design model, when you display annotations of a sheet model using the Display Sheet Annotations tool, the drawing boundary is displayed. The Mini toolbar on this drawing boundary displays the Open Sheet Model tool.

Opening a Drawing Model from a Drawing Boundary

The Open Drawing Model tool in the Mini toolbar can be used to open the referenced drawing model from the drawing boundary.

The tool opens the drawing model and fits the reference in the view window. If the reference does not have any elements you get a message in the status bar that it is unable to fit as no elements are found.
