Showing Geometry in Views

This task will show you how to visualize geometrical elements in all viewpoints as well as in a 3D viewer corresponding to the views analyzed.

Note that you can analyze both text/dimension and edge type elements on all the views of a CATDrawing document. These views can be views generated from an assembly, a part or a .model. These views can also be interactive views.
Open the GenDrafting_part.CATDrawing document.

  1. Select Tools > Analyze > Show Geometry in All Viewpoints.

    Provided there is at least one link between the CATDrawing document and a CATPart (or assembly, part or .model), a window appears with the 3D model corresponding to the CATDrawing views.

  2. Move the cursor over the geometrical elements on one view.

    All the views are analyzed. The blue color corresponds to the immediate edge. The red color corresponds to the adjacent faces.

    When the Animate check box is selected in the 3D viewer, the part is automatically displayed with the optimal position for visualizing.
