Detail views
on detail sheet(s) |
V5 Drafting has multiple
detail sheets, and each sheet can hold 10 detail views. Each CCD Detail
is transferred to a detail view on this sheet. The lever point becomes
a standard point. Detail names are transferred. |

Grid

The
Interactive Drafting product does support the concept of a grid, but
the grid information is not stored as an element within a drafting
document. Rather, it is an attribute of the users interactive V5
environment. |
Model

Drafting
standard (ANSI, ISO, JIS) |
The
Interactive Drafting product explicitly associates a drafting standard
(ANSI, ISO, JIS) to a drawing. This standard drives the display and
behavior of some drafting elements (e.g., dimensions). The CADAM
Drafting product associates a drafting standard with elements in a
model, but does not associate a standard with the model. Therefore as a
CADAM Drafting model is transferred, the elements within the model will
be used to determine the standard. Specifically, the dimensions in the
model are queried to determine the standard of the drawing. For
example, if the CADAM Drafting model has ANSI standard dimensions, the
Interactive Drafting drawing will be set to ANSI standard. In general
practice, all elements in a CADAM Drafting model are of the same
standard. If a model is encountered where elements from multiple
standards exist, the standard of the first encountered dimension will
be used. If no dimensions exist, the standard will be set based on the
units of the CADAM Drafting model. If the units are metric, the
standard will be set to ISO. Otherwise, the standard will be set to
ANSI. |

Sheet size |
The
Interactive Drafting product defines an explicit sheet size with all
drawings. The CADAM Drafting product does not associate a fixed sheet
size with a model. When transferring a CADAM Drafting model to
Interactive Drafting, the sheet size is determined by defining a
bounding box around all of the elements within the CADAM Drafting
model. The sheet size of the Interactive Drafting drawing is then set
to the smallest available sheet size that contains the calculated
bounding box. |

Selection Area |
The
Interactive Drawing product has a "Print Selection Area" option under
File - print that is similar to plot data. |
Units per inch
|
Not transferred |
The Interactive Drawing product uses the same storage units for all
drawings. The user is able to establish "working" units while
interacting with the model. All interactions between the system and
user will be done in "working" units. |
