Setting Window Layout Preferences

You can set the layout preferences for the windows used to visualize your objects. For instance, you can resize the specification tree as desired or hide the geometry or the specification tree.

  1. Look at the default layout option.

    It displays both the specification tree and the geometry:

  2. Select View > Specifications (or press F3).

    This removes the specification tree:

  3. Select View > Geometry to display 2D and 3D representations of the geometry.

    Warning: Do not confuse View > Geometry with Swap visible space which lets you display objects transferred to the No Show area. For detailed information, see Displaying Hidden Objects.

  4. Select View > Geometry again.

    The whole geometry is hidden (whether it is in the Show/No Show space) and only the specification tree is displayed.

  5. To swap the focus between the tree and the geometry, select View > Commands List > Swap view/tree or enter c:swap view/tree in the power input box:



    This enables you, for instance, to resize the specification tree as desired.

  6. To deactivate the command, simply re-select View > Commands List > Swap view/tree or re-enter c:swap view/tree in the power input box.

    Important: Using this command is equivalent to clicking the axis system displayed in the bottom right corner which is another method to swap the focus between the specification tree and the geometry.
