Levels

When Orthographics Manager processes a 3D model, it creates a Hidden drawing from the model. As with most models, there are several Levels where the different sizes and types of components or annotations are placed. The Levels options page lets you define the color, size and weight of the lines used in each level.

Accessed by selecting the Levels node in the Settings interface.

The Close icon closes the Project Settings interface, so make sure your changes are saved. You will be prompted to save them it you haven't already.
