Drawing Specification Tree Icons

The specification tree displays various icons of the Interactive and Generative Drafting workbenches.

Tree Structure

The following picture represents a typical Drafting spcification tree.

Symbols



Important:
  • Right-clicking an element in the specification tree displays the contextual menu with traditional commands (Delete, Cut/Copy/Paste, Reframe On, etc.).
  • In this contextual menu, the Unbreak, Unclip, Remove Breakout, Apply Breakout to and 3D Clipping commands can now be found under View Definition.
  • Double-clicking a specification or a callout launches the corresponding profile edition command (when available).
  • You can paste the specifications of a view to another one, whenever the specifications are compatible with the selected view (if you want to have an idea of which specifications can be pasted to a given view, check which commands are available in the View toolbar when this view is selected).
  • You cannot paste a broken specification if broken areas overlap.
  • You cannot paste a clipping specification if the projection plane are not parallel.

Unreferenced drawing

The drawing contains at least one sheet/view whose links with the 3D are broken.

Does not apply to drawings which contain only interactive views.

Unreferenced sheet

The sheet contains at least one view whose links with the 3D are broken.

Does not apply to sheets which contain only interactive views.

Unreferenced view

Masks Specific to Drafting Applications

Masks appear in the specification tree for different reasons. The following table illustrates these scenarios.

Locked view

Note that a locked view cannot be updated. Therefore, locked views which are not up-to-date will not be applied the corresponding mask.

Update error

This mask appears in either of the following circumstances:


  • An error occurred during the view update process.
  • In the case of breakout, 3D clipping box and section specifications added to quick detail views, these specifications will not be used during the view update process.

View from

View created from 2D Layout for 3D Design or from Functional Tolerancing and Annotations.
