Properties and Preview

If the structure display of the ICN is active, i.e. if a part has been selected there, the Properties window displays attributes and other information related to the selected part or assembly.

The Graphic window displays a preview of the selected part or assembly.

Displayed attributes and properties of parts include Part name, Part type, Colour, Layer and Material, Module, BOM-relevant and Item No.

Further attributes are displayed, with a distinction being made between

 

 

The table below lists the attributes (default) shown for 2-D and 3-D parts and 3-D assemblies. For other parts, e.g. Steel Engineering beams or Sheet Metal parts, other attributes will be shown.

Scale

For 2-D parts, the scale in the Properties tab of the ICN is represented as 1:n [1:m]. The scale shown in square brackets is the part scale, the other scale is the result from part scale and main scale of the drawing. If the main scale is, for example, 1:2, and the part scale is 1:3, then 1:1.5 [1:3] will be displayed. If the main scale and the part scale are identical, e.g. 1:2, the part will (in relation to the main scale) be displayed without size change

.

The displayed drawing was created with a scale of 1:2. Then, the two parts of equal size were drawn. In both cases, a scale of 1:1 [1:2] will be displayed. If you now set the part scale of Part 2 to 1:3, this will cause Part 2 to be displayed smaller in relation to the main scale. A scale of 1:1.5 [1:3] will then be displayed. The scale for Part 1 will remain unchanged.

 

Editable attributes can be changed by double-clicking an overwriting the value in the ICN, with the exception of "Material". To select a different material, click the corresponding row, then on the symbol, and select the desired material from the catalogue.
