Drawing view creation enhancements (View Wizard command)

The following enhancements are available for the View Wizard command.

Simplified drawing view creation workflow

Now you can adapt the View Wizard command to your preferred drawing view creation workflow by choosing whether you want to run it in simplified mode or in step-by-step mode. Simplified mode is now the default mode for the View Wizard command.

You also can specify that the View Wizard command is used to create drawing views from a model dragged onto a drawing sheet.

For more information, see the View Wizard command.

Preview mode for drawing views

When placing a drawing view, you can specify a preview mode based on the model type and size. A new option on the Drawing View Wizard tab, Dynamic display, specifies when to use a VHL model preview, and when to use a preview that only indicates the extent of the view.

More functionality on the View Wizard command bar

More options are available on the View Wizard command bar, so that you can apply them to a drawing view before it is placed on the drawing. They also provide access to individual dialog boxes in the Drawing View Creation Wizard when using the simplified View Wizard workflow.

For more information, see the View Wizard command bar.

Saved settings by model type and size for drawing views

Now you can create saved settings for drawing view creation. A new Drawing View Creation Wizard (Saved Settings) dialog box is available from the View Wizard command bar to name and save the drawing view formatting properties.

You can map drawing view saved settings to model types (part, sheet metal, and assembly) and model size (small, medium, and large assemblies) using the Drawing View Wizard tab (Solid Edge Options dialog box).

New Drawing View Wizard options

A new Drawing View Wizard tab (Solid Edge Options dialog box) specifies which View Wizard command workflow to use, maps drawing view saved settings by model type, and specifies the type of drawing view preview to use.
