View Modification

The Generative Drafting workbench provides a simple method to modify previously created views.

Before you begin: Learn how to edit the properties of multi-selected views.
Move a view: Drag a view to a new location.
Position a view: Position Generative or Interactive views either by aligning them, superposing them and setting relative view position.
Position a view independently of its reference view: Position a view independently of its reference view.
Locate reference/resulting views: Navigate easily between reference/resulting views in the case of section views, section cuts, auxiliary views or detail views.
Isolate generated views: Remove associativity between an existing CATPart (or CATProduct or CATModel) and the corresponding generated views.
Restore Overloaded Properties/Deleted elements: Restore 3D graphical dress-up and/or generated elements that have been deleted from a view.
Lock a view: Use the contextual menu (Properties option) to lock a view.
Scale a view: Modify the scale of a view.
Rename a view: Give a new name to an existing view.
Modify a view projection plane: Modify the projection plane of any generated view.
Propagate the view modifications: Propagate view modifications from parent view to other views.
Add a generative bill of material: Insert Bill of Material information into the active view.
Add the advanced bill of material: Insert the Advanced Bill of Material information into the active view.
Generating balloons on a view: Generate balloons on the active view.
Show geometry in views: Visualize geometrical elements in all viewpoints as well as in a 3D viewer corresponding to the views analyzed.
Modify a callout graphism: Modify the graphical attributes of one or more callout used when generating auxiliary, section or detail views.
Modify a callout geometry: Modify the geometrical properties of a callout used when creating detail views, section views and section cuts.
Overloading element properties: Overload the properties of generated elements in a view.
Modify a pattern: Modify the pattern of a view and apply a material to this pattern.
Duplicating generative geometry: Duplicate a generative view sub-element in order to modify a generated view sub-part independently from the part linked to the drawing.
Modify a view's links: Modify the list elements pointed by a view.
Apply a view's links to another view: Apply the links of a view to another one.
