Drawings with pre-V5R11 standard

Note: These options apply only to drawings created with versions prior to V5R11 (i.e. versions up to V5 R10).

Section/Projection callout size not dependent on view scale
Select this check box if you do not want the size of projection and section callout elements to be dependent on the view scale. This option will apply to newly created callouts, i.e. selecting this option will not have any impact on existing callouts.

By default, this check box is selected.

Construction elements color
Select the color to use for construction elements. A construction element is an element that is internal to, and only visualized by, the sketch. This element is used as positioning reference. It is not used for creating solid primitives.

By default, the color is grey.

Drawings with pre-V5R14 standard

Note: These options apply only to drawings created with versions prior to V5R14 (i.e. versions up to V5 R13).

Sheet background color:
Choose the color that will be used for the sheet background.

By default, the color is white.

Detail background color:
Choose the color that will be used for the background of 2D components.

By default, the color is white.

Graduated color
If you want the sheet background and/or the detail (i.e. 2D component) background to be graduated, select the associated box.

By default, these options are not selected.

Automatically add a funnel during line-up of cumulated dimensions
Select this check box if you want to add a funnel automatically whenever the value of a pre-V5R14 cumulated dimension requires one to be displayed correctly.

By default, this option is selected.

Create new sheet from: Style
Select this option if the scale and projection method (first or third angle) used for creating new sheets should be those defined in the standard styles (in Tools > Standards > Drafting > [StandardName] > Styles > Sheet).

By default, this option is not selected.

Create new sheet from: First sheet
Select this option if the scale and projection method (first or third angle) used for creating new sheets should be those defined in the first sheet of a drawing. For example, you can use this option if you use an existing drawing to create a new one (i.e. when you want the new drawing to have the same properties as the existing drawing).

By default, this option is selected.

Drawings and Layouts with pre-V6R2011 standard
