Further View Functions (3-D)

Views > View Functions

You can hide and show complete views as well as parts of views in HiCAD. This allows a significant system performance increase during processing, especially for complex 3-D models. Furthermore, you can "freeze" views": In contrast to hidden views, frozen views remain visible on the screen, they can however not be processed. Please note that 3-D parts, 3-D texts or 3-D dimensionings cannot be selected in frozen views!

The View Functions group of the Views tab contains functions enabling you to show, hide and freeze views, as well as functions for the processing of linked views.

 

Show/unfreeze views, Individual

Shows individual views again or removes the "frozen" state. Identify the required views in the ICN.

Clicking opens a menu with further functions:

Show/unfreeze views, All

Shows all views again and removes the "frozen" state.

Link views

Activates the Link views menu that enables you to define or delete links between views.

Rearrange views

Rearranges the views according to DIN - first the standard views and then the other views.

Rearrange view group

Rearranges and regroups all linked views. Aligned views are moved in alignment direction only, non-aligned views are moved in the direction of the view centre.

Show 3-D dimensions + texts

Re-displays hidden dimensions and texts.

Select view, via list

Allows views to be activated via a selection list. The existing list views are displayed for selection.

Hide views, Individual

Hides individual views. Identify the required views.

Hide all views, except active

Hides all views except for the active view.

Hide all 'Hidden Line' views

Hides all views that require hidden line calculations. These are the Hidden Line, Hidden Line Dashed and Shaded with Hidden Line display types. This enables you to avoid lengthy hidden line calculations in complex drawings!

Freeze views, Individual

Freezes individual views. Frozen views are visible on the screen, but cannot be modified. Please note that frozen views of 3-D parts, 3-D texts or 3-D dimensionings cannot be identified! To remove the "frozen" state, select the Show/unfreeze views, Individual , or the Show /unfreeze views, All function.

Shaded views cannot be frozen!

Freeze all views, except active

Freezes all views except for the active view

Freeze all 'Hidden Line' views

Freezes all views that require hidden line calculations.

You can also hide views by first selecting the Views tab in the ICN, then right-clicking the required view and selecting the Hide function from the context menu. The name of the view is then displayed in the ICN with reduced colour intensity. In the same way, hidden views can be shown again.

If objects such as dimensionings, processing planes or parts are deleted from the drawing, these will still be displayed in frozen views. Only after unfreezing of these views will it become apparent which elements had been deleted since the freezing. Please pay particular attention to this when you delete all dimensions or all dimensions in a part (3-D Dimensioning + Text > Delete > Individual > All in part or All).
