Chapter 21: Working with Drawing Views


FIGURE 21.25

The View PropertyManager


The more standard 2D drawing display modes are Wireframe, HLR, and HLV (Hidden Lines
Visible), which work in the same way as they do in the model environment. Unless you override it
on a per part basis, the Display mode is set for all the components in the view.

Component Line Font
Individual components within an assembly can be shown in different fonts, similar to the display
in the Alternate Position View. You can access this function by right-clicking the component to
access the RMB menu and selecting Component Line Font. Figure 21.26 shows the Component
Line Font dialog box, along with a drawing view in which a couple of part line fonts have been
changed. The part can only be changed in the view where it was selected, or it can be changed
across the board in all views in the active drawing where it appears. This is useful if you want to
emphasize or de-emphasize certain parts in the assembly view.
