Properties of Views

Views > Properties

The Properties menu contains functions which enable you, amongst other things, to change the name or scale of views, to select the shading type or define the representation of edges.

Change view scale

Changes the scale of the view.

Rename view

Changes the view name.

Hide/show elements in view

Makes it possible to show/hide certain edges like mesh and polyhedral edges, or processing planes.

Clicking opens a menu with further functions:

	Hidden edges	Defines colour and line type of hidden edges.
	Highlighted edges	Highlights edges in colour in glass models or in hidden line representation.
	Shading type	Defines the lighting model and the edge shading method.
	Update sheet edges	For model drawings from 2018 and older you can no longer show collinear sheet edges in the HiddenLine representation. For these legacy drawings, the settings valid at the time of their saving apply. However, you can use this function to update the handling of collinear sheet edges in these legacy drawings to the new mechanism.

Settings for stereoscopic representation

The stereoscopic 3-D representation opens up new possibilities for the presentation of your products, provided that a corresponding hardware, driver and 3-D glasses are available.
