Temporary Settings

Drawing > Others > Extras > Temporary settings

The Temporary settings function in the Extras menu enables you to change various settings for the current HiCAD session.


Representation

Object marking in graphic ON/OFF

If you move the mouse pointer over your drawing objects, found parts and their sub-parts will be highlighted in a different colour (default: main parts in magenta, sub-parts in orange). This setting can be switched off and on (default).

Bitmap representation

Defines whether Bitmap files and other pixel graphics lie in front of or behind the geometry


Colour display

2-D overlap level in colour 

Overlapped graphical elements are displayed in colour, other graphical elements in the default colour.


Angle grid 

Activates the 2-D Angle Grid

Deactivates the 2-D Angle Grid


Others 

Reload general parameters

Applies certain settings specified in the Configuration Editor if these have been changed in HiCAD during the current session.

Temporarily switches off the Undo function for 3-D models.

 

Please mind:
Sometimes generating the ICN can lead to considerable waiting times. If the Save ICN display with drawing status is active, the new message Save drawing (generate ICN designations for viewer) will be displayed in the user guidance (info toolbar) during the saving process. This enables you to see that the status is active and could possibly be the cause of the waiting time.
