Modify view-level drawing 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 in the automatic drawing properties already before creating a drawing. 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 the view properties only apply to the view that you have selected to modify.

For details on view properties, see View properties in drawings. For details on defining automatic drawing views, see Define the views to create in single-part, assembly and cast unit drawings.

  1. Open a drawing.
  2. To open the drawing view properties in the property pane, click the frame of the drawing view you want to modify.
    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 view properties available 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 settings button in the property pane.
  5. Make the necessary changes.
    The checkboxes 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. For details on view properties, see View properties in drawings.
  6. Click Modify when you are ready with the changes.

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

Note:

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