Drawing Properties

Opens the Drawing attributes dialogue window.

Sets the unit of measurement for the active drawing (default: mm).

Defines the number of decimal places to which displayed values and coordinates are to be rounded (default: 3).

Defines the number of decimal places for angle values to which displayed values and coordinates are to be rounded (default: 2).

Moves the screen plane by the value Z.

Defines the number of polygon points for 3-D quadrants. This is taken into account, for example, in polyhedron approximation and shading of 3-D models.

When performing a Hidden Line calculation HiCAD always performs a quick check for possible overlaps and collisions, and, if there are any, corrects them automatically. Use this function to perform a more thorough Hidden Line collision check. Please note however that a thorough collision check may affect the performance during Hidden Line calculation if it is applied to very large drawings.

With this function you change view variables.

If a sketch that was parameterised with HCM constraints contains variables, these are automatically defined as so-called view variables when using the sketch in a sectional/detail view or a cut-out.

Corrects colour differences at the polyhedral edges of curved surfaces (only important for the 3-D model ).

Defines the standard for hatching section surfaces.

Determines whether 3-D hatchings are to be scale-dependent or scale-independent.

Functions for visualising edges/surface boundaries in 3-D.

Assigns a symbol table to the active drawing or removes the assignment.

The function Enable AutoQuickView switches the AutoQuickView on. This automatism sets one or more views to QuickView mode - at the given time - in order to skip HiddenLine and Glass model calculations.

Changes the main scale of the drawing (only in drawing context menu).

Use this function to specify the tolerance range (default: 0.001). (only in drawing context menu)
