Drawing View Display Defaults dialog box

Defines edge display defaults for part views. These defaults are initially derived from the settings on the Edge Display tab (Solid Edge Options dialog box), as well as Drawing View Options in the Drawing View Creation Wizard (which override settings on the Display tab).

Changes you make in the Drawing View Display Defaults dialog box are not applied until you make and apply a change on the Display tab, or until you select the Restore Default Display Settings button. However, when you save the file, the default values are saved with the view, and they override any other settings the next time you open the file.

Show fill style

Specifies a fill style to be used for the selected parts.

Derive from part

Applies the fill style used in the part.

Automatically alternate hatch spacing in section views

Specifies that different parts are displayed automatically with different hatch pattern spacing. This aids in distinguishing one cut face from another.

You can adjust the hatch pattern spacing in the selected section or broken-out section view using the Spacing box on the Display tab (Drawing View Properties dialog box).

Automatically alternate hatch angle in section views

Specifies that different parts are displayed automatically with different hatch pattern angles. This aids in distinguishing one cut face from another.

You can adjust the hatch pattern angle in the selected section or broken-out section view using the Angle box on the Display tab (Drawing View Properties dialog box).

Visible edge style

Sets the default style for visible edges. On an assembly drawing this option can be applied to individual parts in the drawing view. You can apply different styles to different parts in the assembly.

Hidden edge style

Sets the default style for hidden edges. On an assembly drawing this option can be applied to individual parts in the drawing view. You can apply different styles to different parts in the assembly.

Note:

When you change the hidden edge display in a drawing view, you can use Ctrl+Shift+Update Views to refresh the drawing view.

Show edges hidden by other parts

Specifies whether to display edges hidden by other parts in the drawing view by default. The edges are displayed using the hidden edge line style. This option applies to the entire drawing view on an assembly drawing.

Show hidden-tangent edges

Displays hidden-tangent edges, if they were created in the drawing view. These edges are in addition to other hidden edges. The edges are displayed using the hidden edge line style.

Use this option to:

  • Show the lines between rounds and tapered faces, which do not have a sharp edge.

  • Show the external edges on the back side of a cast part.

Note:

If this results in too many hidden-tangent edges being visible, you can use these commands to adjust them: Edge Painter, Hide Edges, Show Edges.

Tangent edge style

Sets the default style for tangent edges. On an assembly drawing this option can be applied to individual parts in the drawing view. You can apply different styles to different parts in the assembly.

Show tube centerlines

Specifies whether tube centerlines are displayed.

Tube centerline style

Sets the default style for tube centerlines. On an assembly drawing this option can be applied to individual parts in the drawing view. You can apply different styles to different parts in the assembly.

Derive "Display as Reference" from Assembly

Specifies that the occurrence properties defined in the assembly document determine whether the occurrence is displayed as a reference part. You can use the Occurrence Properties command on the PathFinder shortcut menu to specify that an assembly occurrence is displayed as a reference part in a drawing.
