In Solid Edge ST5, the View and Markup command has dual functionality to either send the active document to View and Markup, or display the new Solid Edge to View and Markup Options dialog box.

Clicking the top portion of the Tools→View and Markup button opens your active document in View and Markup. Clicking the bottom portion of the button displays the dialog box containing a list of options that determine what information is passed from Solid Edge to View and Markup. The list of options includes:

• PMI

• Precise geometry

• Visible parts only

• Visible constructions

• Inter-Part copies as constructions

• Document properties

• Coordinate system

The options you choose can be saved as your default settings.
