Modify drawing view-level properties

You can modify the view-level properties after you have created the drawing. Most of the properties that a single-part, assembly and cast unit drawing have are specified for each of the drawing views separately already before creating a drawing in the automatic drawing properties. General arrangement drawings do not have automatic view properties, and the view properties can only be modified in an open drawing.

The changes you make in view properties only apply to the view that you have selected to modify.

For a list of view properties and their values, see View properties in drawings.

  1. Open the drawing.
  2. To open the drawing view properties in the property pane, click the drawing view frame.
    If the property pane is not open, you need to double-click the frame. This also opens the view properties dialog.
  3. Go through the properties in the drawing view property pane, modify the properties and click Modify when you are done.
  4. If you need to modify settings available in the view properties dialog only, click the View button in the property pane.
  5. Make the necessary changes.
    The check boxes in the options tree are off by default. When you change a property, for example, select another option for a setting, Tekla Structures adds a check mark to the checkbox next to the option in the option tree.
  6. Click Modify when you are ready with the changes.

The view changes according to the changes that you made in the drawing view properties.

Note:

Some of the changes in you make require a drawing recreation. For more information, see Recreation of drawings.
