Visualisation Settings

Via element type
Shows/hides certain element types like hatchings, texts, splines, point designations, isolated points, symbols, dimensionings and pixel graphics. Inactive symbols identify the hidden element types.

Assembly points On/Off
Shows/hides isolated points for identifying assemblies (layer 47).

Dimensioning On/Off
Shows/hides dimensioning layer 49.

Layer 0 On/Off 
Shows/hides the normally invisible layer 0.

All attributes visible
Displays all objects of layers 1-999, with layer 0 remaining invisible.

Via line attributes
Shows/hides all objects that comply with certain attribute settings in respect of colour, line type or layer, e.g. all blue elements in layer 7. Attributes marked with a check are regarded as current attributes. The element type in question determines which of the active attributes are taken into account with an element:

• In the case of lines, circles and conic sections, all attributes are taken into account; in the case of texts, the line type is not taken into account.
• Isolated points have attributes layer and colour as well as constant line type 0.
• In the case of symbols, only the layer number is taken into account. Graphic elements of symbol geometry lying in layer 0 are generally regarded as invisible even if layer 0 is activated.
• In the case of dimensionings and hatchings, only the layer number is taken into account.
• In the case of curves and symbol lines smoothed with spline methods, the attributes of the first element of the support polyline of the spline or the polyline which you want to be displayed as a symbol line are taken into account.

Load visualisation
The current visualisation settings are saved together with the drawing. If the drawing is re-loaded, the HiCAD standard settings are active. If you want to use the saved settings, activate this function.
