Drop Fence Contents
Used to
break up the contents in a fence into their components. The elements can
then be manipulated individually.
You can access this tool from the following:
- Ribbon: Home > Selection > Fence Tools split button
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Complex | If on, complex elements (cell, complex chain, complex shape, text node, surface, or solid) are dropped into their components. |
| Dimensions | If on, dimension element(s) are dropped into lines,
line strings, ellipses, arcs, and text.
|
| Line Strings/Shapes | If on, line strings and shapes are converted to series of individual line elements. |
| Multi-lines | If on, multi-line elements are converted to sets of line strings, lines, and/or arcs. |
| Shared Cells | If on, the associated option menu lets you drop
shared cells:
|
| Solids | (3D only) If on, the associated option menu lets
you drop SmartSurfaces or SmartSolids:
|
| Text | If on, text characters in text elements are converted to the individual elements that are used to draw the characters ? lines, line strings, arcs, ellipses, and shapes. |
| Application Elements | If on, used to drop light weight geometry. |
| Fence Mode | Sets how the fence contents are determined.

Key-in:
Note:
Drop Fence Contents cannot be used to drop elements more
than one level at a time. For example, if you turn on Complex and Line
Strings/Shapes and operate on a complex shape that contains two line strings,
the complex shape is dropped but the component line strings are not. That is,
the operation results in two line strings.
