Change View Support Dialog Box

The Change View Support dialog box appears when Change View Support... is selected.

This dialog box contains controls for:



Support

Type
Defines the annotation view support type.
  • Isolated, lets you isolate the view from the geometry. In this case, you will then be able to modify the geometry or the axis system without changing the view definition.

  • Associative, lets you associate the view to another geometry: a planar face or an axis system.
Important:

Irrelevant in axonometric view context.

Reference
Displays the view reference geometry or 3D viewpoint.
Point
Displays the point as point of view.
Important:

Relevant in axonometric context only.

Invert normal
Inverts the view orientation. When the view annotation plane is moved on an axis system, the Invert normal option is not available because the view annotation plane takes by default the axis system orientation.
Important:

Irrelevant in axonometric view context.

Orientation

Important:

Irrelevant in axonometric view context.

Important:

Options defined in this section are not persistent in the annotation view properties.

Type
Defines the annotation view horizontal axis orientation.
  • Implicit, lets the application choose the orientation of the horizontal axis.
  • X Axis, orientates the horizontal axis according to the X axis representation when possible.
  • Y Axis, orientates the horizontal axis according to the Y axis representation when possible.
  • Z Axis, orientates the horizontal axis according to the Z axis representation when possible.
  • Parallel to line, orientates the horizontal axis according to a selected line when possible.
  • Normal to surface, orientates the horizontal axis according to the normal to a selected plane when possible.
Reference
Displays the horizontal axis reference geometry.

Only available with Parallel to line and Normal to surface orientation types.

Angle
Defines the horizontal axis angle with reference geometry.
