Applying the Generative Style of a View to Another View

Generative view styles are defined by an administrator and specify the appearance and behavior of a generated view. You can, however, apply the generative view style used to create a given view to another view. This topic explains how to achieve this task.

Before you begin:
  • Open a drawing representation.
  • Create a front view using a specific generative view style. In our example, we have specified that hidden edges should be displayed in orange, using a specific linetype and thickness.
  • Create an isometric view with another generative view style.
