Changing Displays of Segments
Segments can be displayed as rendered or centerlines. Rendered display
provides a three-dimensional appearance, while centerline display provides
an unobstructed view of the work points and path.
Like wires, the display options can be set for individual segments or for all
segments in a selected harness assembly. The display preference can be set in
different ways, either with the context menu for the segment occurrence or
the Segments folder, the Segment Properties dialog box, or the Display Settings
tool on the Standard toolbar. The occurrence level display settings always
override the current display state.
Change the display for a selected segment
1 Double-click Harness Assembly1 if it is not already active.
2 In the browser or graphics window, select a segment.
NOTE To select the segment in the graphics window, you may need to set
the Select tool to Select Sketch Features.
3 Right-click and select Harness Properties.
4 On the Segment Properties dialog box, Display tab, click the tool
for the Centerline display option.
5 To change the display setting for all segments, select the Segments folder
in the browser, right-click, and select Display All As Rendered from the
context menu.
You can also change the display of a single segment by selecting the
Display As Rendered option from the Display Settings tool on the Standard
toolbar or by right-clicking a segment and selecting Display As Rendered
from the context menu.
Setting Segment Defaults
Several default settings are available for harness segments. With Harness
Assembly1 still active, do the following:
