View Generation Definition   

This section deals with view generation definition. This lets you customize settings that should be applied when generating views in a Generative Drafting context.

Defining View Generation Parameters

The view generation definition parameters are located in the View > Generation node of the Standard Definition editor, available via Tools > Standards

There are two parameters:

  • Thickness Index: this parameter lets you customize the line thickness for geometry which is automatically generated in views (this includes all geometry except fillet edges). 
    Specify the number of the line thickness definition parameter, as specified in the Line Thickness node of the Standards editor. For more information, refer to Line Thickness Definition.
 

  • Material Cut Pattern: this parameter is used when generating views from parts which use a material to which a specific pattern is associated.
    • Select Material to use the pattern associated to a given material (instead of the patterns defined in the standards), even if this pattern is not defined in the standards.
    • Select Standard to use standard patterns only, instead of the pattern associated to a given material. Refer to Pattern Definition for more information on defining standard patterns.
