High Speed Drawing Views
The generation of drawing views is up to ten times
faster than in the previous version through multi-core
support. Precise views are generated in parallel by
leveraging multi-core technology. You can review the
drawing or create drawing annotations before precise
calculations of drawing views finish. Precise drawing
views are calculated in the background while you work
with draft previews (raster views). Raster views are
marked by green corner glyphs in the graphic window,
and by a special icon in the browser. If you place the
cursor on a raster view icon, a tooltip showing the
progress of precise calculation displays.
Change View Orientation
You can now change the orientation of existing drawing
views with only a few clicks. Double-click a view, and
in the Drawing View dialog box, click Change View
Orientation. Then, in the Custom View window, specify
a new view plane. When you change the orientation of
a base view, all dependent child views inherit the new
orientation.
Rotate Drawing Views with Sketches
The Rotate View command is available for drawing
views that include sketches. Only sketches that are
constrained to projected model geometry rotate
correctly with the drawing view.
Origin Mark for Ordinate Dimension Sets
You can override the style setting
and change the origin mark for
ordinate dimension sets. Double-
click the grip point next to the
origin mark. Then select a new
origin mark from the list. To change
the default origin mark for ordinate
dimension sets, edit the dimension
style. When you change the origin
mark in the style, the existing
ordinate dimension sets with By
Style origin mark display the new mark.
