Category in Advanced options dialog: Drawing views

Use this advanced option to specify the criteria used when comparing section views. If section views are different, they will be visible and will receive a unique section mark. By default, section views are compared based on the boundaries of the parts (EXTREMA) and the orientation of the parts in the view (ORIENTATION). The advanced option may contain a combination of the following options separated by a comma:

• POSITION compares position numbers of all the parts in the view (including non-dimensioned parts).

• EXTREMA compares the boundaries of the parts in the view.

• ORIENTATION compares the orientation of the parts in the view.

• SHOWALL considers all section views different and displays them with unique section marks.

• EXACT uses more rigid rules when comparing section views. Use EXACT only in combination with the options EXTREMA or ORIENTATION.

  EXACT, ORIENTATION = Part x/y axes need to be the same.

  ORIENTATION = Part x/y axes need to be the same or opposite.

  EXACT, EXTREMA = Part extremas need to be the same in any direction.

  EXTREMA = Part extremas need to be the same in each part's local direction.

  If orientation is 90 degrees different, the extremas can still be the same if both parts have the same x and y dimension, for example.

This advanced option is role specific. When the type SYSTEM(ROLE) is in use, the default value is used. When the type MODEL(ROLE) or DRAWING(ROLE) is in use, you can change the value, which is then the same for all users in the current model.
