Detail Style-2D Display

Setting	Description
Display Sections	2D-cuts (manual or automatic at e.g. stiffeners) inserted into the main part are added as additional view to the group. Here you have to differentiate between 2D-cuts in the model and 2D-cuts in the details: 2D-cuts inserted in the model only define whether and how a detail has to be cut at detailing process. Only manual – Only manually added cuts are displayed. Cuts automatically determined by the program are not depicted. Equals only once – Cuts having an identical display are only depicted once.
Symbol Outside	Cut arrows are displayed outside of the last dimensioning chains. Otherwise, they are fixed directly at the part even in front of the dimensioning chains.
Arrangement	Sets the position of the partial view —Left and right, Below stacked, and Below continuous. The cuts are not depicted on the left and/or on the right of the main view (mostly the front view), but beneath the last views, one beside the other.
Section Symbol Template	Here, you can select a template describing the display of cut labeling. These templates can be defined within the command Insert 2D cut.
Descriptions	Here, you indicate the cut designation (without the code letter for cut) that has to be used for labeling the cut views.
Section Marker	Here, you enter the cut code letter (or number) that has to be used to describe the first cut of a group as section index. All other cuts of this group will be counted accordingly in increasing order.
Display Adjacent Parts	The neighboring parts of a group are also depicted. These are the parts where the group is connected, which however don’t belong to this group any more.
With Position Flags	The position flags of the neighboring parts are also inserted in the view.
Detail Style for adjacent parts	The detailing style used for displaying the neighboring parts.
Search Range (x,y,z)	The size of an imaginary box around the whole group. Everything inside of this box will be displayed as neighbouring part up to the edges of this box. You may define the box in the three input fields separately for X-, Y- and Z-direction of the group.
Display End Plates	A single part detail of the end plates will be depicted with displayed connection shape on the corresponding side of the group, if end or base plates exist.
With Group Style	The end plates are depicted with the detailing style used for the component group. Otherwise, they are always displayed with their own detailing style.
View Direction	Here, you specify the view direction of the end plate detail related to the group. Outside – The shape to be connected is depicted as hidden. Inside – The shape to be connected is depicted as cut. Top – The shape to be connected is depicted as cut together with base plates and as hidden together with end plates.
Distance Views	Sets the minimum distance of the end plate details towards the other views of the group. Indicates the gap between part view and additional views for folded end plates.
Display Origin	The zero point reference of coordinate dimensioning of the group is displayed as reference point or at American dimensioning option as special symbol for Running dimensions (RD).
Symbol Size	Here, you can enter the size of the reference point. The RD symbol characteristics at American dimensioning option are specified in dimensioning parameters.
Display benchmark	A mark is displayed at the group showing the alignment with regard to a global northern direction. Tip: In the global settings, the American dimensioning style has to be activated.
Display Part Number at Dimension	The US-part number or position number as well as the quantity of pieces is shown together with the longitudinal dimension chain. However, the US-part number has to exist already, i.e. the option is not activated unless an update has been made. In the global settings, the American dimensioning style has to be activated.
Display Insert position of Stiffeners/Webangles	In the case of stiffeners and web angles, it is specified whether these are situated on the front or back side of the web or on both sides of the web (in case of identical parts). To recognize identical parts, the parts have already to be equipped with a position number. Only a simple comparison is made here by means of position number and position of the part’s center.

Display Sections

2D-cuts (manual or automatic at e.g. stiffeners) inserted into the main part are added as additional view to the group.

Here you have to differentiate between 2D-cuts in the model and 2D-cuts in the details: 2D-cuts inserted in the model only define whether and how a detail has to be cut at detailing process.

Only manual – Only manually added cuts are displayed. Cuts automatically determined by the program are not depicted.
Equals only once – Cuts having an identical display are only depicted once.

Symbol Outside

Cut arrows are displayed outside of the last dimensioning chains. Otherwise, they are fixed directly at the part even in front of the dimensioning chains.

Arrangement

Sets the position of the partial view —Left and right, Below stacked, and Below continuous. The cuts are not depicted on the left and/or on the right of the main view (mostly the front view), but beneath the last views, one beside the other.

Section Symbol Template

Here, you can select a template describing the display of cut labeling. These templates can be defined within the command Insert 2D cut.

Descriptions

Here, you indicate the cut designation (without the code letter for cut) that has to be used for labeling the cut views.

Section Marker

Here, you enter the cut code letter (or number) that has to be used to describe the first cut of a group as section index. All other cuts of this group will be counted accordingly in increasing order.

Display Adjacent Parts

The neighboring parts of a group are also depicted. These are the parts where the group is connected, which however don’t belong to this group any more.

With Position Flags

The position flags of the neighboring parts are also inserted in the view.

Detail Style for adjacent parts

The detailing style used for displaying the neighboring parts.

Search Range (x,y,z)

The size of an imaginary box around the whole group. Everything inside of this box will be displayed as neighbouring part up to the edges of this box.

You may define the box in the three input fields separately for X-, Y- and Z-direction of the group.

Display End Plates

A single part detail of the end plates will be depicted with displayed connection shape on the corresponding side of the group, if end or base plates exist.

With Group Style

The end plates are depicted with the detailing style used for the component group. Otherwise, they are always displayed with their own detailing style.

View Direction

Here, you specify the view direction of the end plate detail related to the group.

Outside – The shape to be connected is depicted as hidden.
Inside – The shape to be connected is depicted as cut.
Top – The shape to be connected is depicted as cut together with base plates and as hidden together with end plates.

Distance Views

Sets the minimum distance of the end plate details towards the other views of the group. Indicates the gap between part view and additional views for folded end plates.

Display Origin

The zero point reference of coordinate dimensioning of the group is displayed as reference point or at American dimensioning option as special symbol for Running dimensions (RD).

Symbol Size

Here, you can enter the size of the reference point. The RD symbol characteristics at American dimensioning option are specified in dimensioning parameters.

Display benchmark

A mark is displayed at the group showing the alignment with regard to a global northern direction.

Tip: In the global settings, the American dimensioning style has to be activated.

Display Part Number at Dimension

The US-part number or position number as well as the quantity of pieces is shown together with the longitudinal dimension chain.

However, the US-part number has to exist already, i.e. the option is not activated unless an update has been made. In the global settings, the American dimensioning style has to be activated.

Display Insert position of Stiffeners/Webangles

In the case of stiffeners and web angles, it is specified whether these are situated on the front or back side of the web or on both sides of the web (in case of identical parts).

To recognize identical parts, the parts have already to be equipped with a position number. Only a simple comparison is made here by means of position number and position of the part’s center.
