    The view/annotation plane is displayed parallel to the screen, oriented according to its normal and reframed on the view/annotation plane content . When a Display Area has been defined, this one is used to display the view/annotation plane.

    • Its annotation set, all its annotations and theirs corresponding nodes by category contained in the view/annotation plane are swapped in Show space if needed.
    • The annotations contained of other view/annotation planes and these view/annotation planes themselves are swapped in No Show space.

  2. Right-click another view/annotation plane in the Specification Tree and select Display View from the contextual menu.


    • The view/annotation plane is now the active one.
    • Its annotations and theirs corresponding nodes by category are swapped in Show space.
    • The annotations contained of the previous view/annotation plane and itself are swapped in No Show space.
