Graphic Replacement for Connections

This task explains how to generate graphic replacement for connections.

The sample XML file provided with this application is Structure_GraphicReplacement.xml.

This file is located in ../OS/resources/standard/generativeparameters.

Customizing parameters in this file affects the appearance of your drawings and is an administrator task.

The reference planes that will be used for a given project are defined in an XML file pointed by a PRM resource:

ProjectReferencePlanes.

For more information, see Project Reference Planes.

Appropriate application licenses including one for Generative Drafting are required.
For information on how to create views using generative view styles, how to set view style parameters or more generally on administering generative view styles, see the Generative Drafting User's Guide.
 

For graphic replacement for reference plane systems, see Graphic Replacement for Reference Plane Systems.

In the sample XML file, generative view style parameters for connections are located towards the bottom of the file under StructureObjects.
