Drawing

This task shows you how to set drawing parameters.

As of V5R15, using Generative View Styles (GVS) is recommended.

Note that GVS only works on Electrical Harness Flattening data, that is to say data extracted using the Extract command.

For more information, refer to Integrating Generative View Styles (GVS).

 

If you use Generative View Styles, the options in this tab are not available since they are managed within the drawing document. The following message is displayed.

  1. Select the Drawing tab:

    This tab lets you define:

    • The type of representation for bundle segments:

      • With Double line
        It is the default value.

      • Or, Single line.

    • The type of representation for protective coverings:
      • With Double line
        It is the default value.

      • Or, Single line.

      The line type representation for protective coverings is only available for rectilinear protective coverings.
    • The graphic representation you want to use when replacing devices or supports:
      • Keep the 3D projection (or nothing for the internal splice, which has no geometrical representation).
        It is the default value.
      • Or, use a 2D detail previously stored in a catalog.
        In this case, the catalog name and path must be defined in the dedicated option.
  2. Select the options of interest.

  3. Click OK to validate.
