Non-Semantic



Mark non-semantic annotations
Defines whether non-semantic annotations (datum elements, datum targets, geometrical tolerances, linear and angular dimensions) are marked with a wavy red line in the specification tree and in the geometry.

By default, this option is not selected.

Grid



Display
Defines whether the grid is displayed.

By default, this option is not selected.

Snap to point
Defines whether annotations are snapped to grid points.

By default, this option is not selected.

Allow Distortions
Defines whether grid spacing and graduations are the same horizontally and vertically.

By default, this option is not selected.

H Primary spacing
Defines the grid horizontal spacing.

By default, the value is 100 mm.

H Graduations
Defines the grid horizontal graduations.

By default, the number of graduation is 10.

V Primary spacing
Defines the grid vertical spacing.
Important:

Only applicable when Allow Distortions is selected.

By default, the value is 100 mm.

V Graduations
Defines the grid vertical graduations.
Important:

Only applicable when Allow Distortions is selected.

By default, the number of graduation is 10.

Annotations in Specification Tree



Track history of displayed views and captures
Defines whether browsing history of views and captures is displayed in the specification tree. When selected, each browsed view or capture remains identified using a purple background in the Specification Tree.
Important:

Deselect this option does not reset the current history of views and captures.

By default, this option is selected.

Under Geometric Feature nodes
Defines that 3D annotations should be displayed under the geometric feature nodes in the specification tree. This lets you view 3D annotations under the Part Design or Generative Shape Design feature nodes to which they are applied.

By default, this option is not selected.

Under View/Annotation Plane nodes
Defines that 3D annotations should be displayed under the view/annotation plane nodes in the specification tree. This lets you view 3D annotations under the view node to which they are linked.

By default, this option is not selected.

Under Annotations Set node
Defines that 3D annotations should be displayed under the annotation set node in the specification tree.
Important:

Only applicable when Under View/Annotation Plane nodes is selected.

By default, this option is selected.

Elements Analysis colors



Activate elements' analysis colors
Click Configure... button to define in Element's Analysis dialog box how to display dimensions using different colors according to their types (true dimensions, invalid dimensions, etc.).

this option is selected.

Restricted Area



Apply Settings
Defines whether the following settings are applied while creating a restricted area feature.

By default, this option is not selected.

Surface Color
Defines the surface color of the restricted area.

By default, see the color above.

Transparency
Defines the surface color transparency of the restricted area.

By default, the value is 0.

Edge Type
Defines the edge type of the restricted area border.

By default, the edge type is 1.

Edge Thickness
Defines the edge thickness of the restricted area border.

By default, the edge thickness is 1.

Edge Color
Defines the edge color of the restricted area border.

By default, see the color above.

Annotation Parameters



Display parameters under annotation feature node
Defines that knowledge parameters (such as tolerance values, datum label, etc.) of annotations should be displayed under the annotation feature node in the specification tree; also defines that feature parameters of dimensions (accessible through the Edit Generative Parameter command) should be displayed under the dimension feature node in the specification tree.

Note that in order to have the value of the parameters displayed in the specification tree, you need to select the With value knowledge setting in Knowledge.

By default, this option is not selected.

Surface Normal



Display for shifted profile tolerance
Defines whether the normal of all the selected surfaces are displayed, or not, when a shifted profile tolerance is specified or queried.

By default, this option is not selected.

3D Annotation Query



Allow query for default annotation (automatic selection mode)
Defines whether the highlight for geometric element involved in default annotation is allowed with 3D Annotation Query Switch On/Switch Off option On: .

By default, this option is selected.

Hatching, coloring or dotting for clipping plane



Display
Defines whether the clipping plane is displayed with hatching, coloring or dotting.

By default, this option is not selected.

Capture display

Mirror annotations
Defines whether annotations are automatically mirrored when displaying a capture.

By default, this option is selected.
