Select

Model Space Selection

Switches to the model space to select solids and surfaces to use in the layout.

Return To Layout

Switches to the layout containing the drawing view.

Representation Panel

This panel is visible only when you create a base view from an Inventor model. Representation
types are model specific. Some of the options may not be available in the selected
model.

Design View

Specifies the assembly design view representation to show in the base view being created.

This option is available only if the selected model is an Inventor assembly (*.iam)
that contains design view representations. It is also not available during the creation
of projected views.

Positional Representation

Specifies the positional representation to show in the base view being created.

This option is available only if you are creating a base view from an Inventor assembly
(*.iam) that contains positional representations. It is also not available during
the creation of projected views.

Level of detail

Specifies the level of detail representation to show in the base view.

This option is available only if the selected model is an Inventor assembly (*.iam).
It is also not available during the creation of projected views.

Weldment

Specifies the weldment state to show in the base view. The list does not explicitly
show the preparatory state. Instead, it displays the names of the components in the
pre-welding preparatory state.

This option is available only if the selected model is an Inventor weldment assembly
(*.iam).

Member

Specifies which member from an iAssembly factory or iPart factory to show in the base
view.

This option is available only if the selected model is an iAssembly factory or an
iPart factory (*.iam, *.ipt).

Sheet metal

Specifies the sheet metal view to show in the base view.

This option is available only if the selected model is an Inventor sheet metal file
(*.ipt).

Presentation

Specifies the presentation view to show in the base view.

This option is available only if the selected model is an Inventor Presentation document
(*.ipn).

Orientation Panel

Orientation

Specifies the orientation to use for the base view being created. This option is available
only during the creation of base views.

Appearance Panel

Hidden Lines

Specifies the display style to use for the selected view.

Scale

Specifies the scale to use for the view.

Edge Visibility

Displays a list of objects to show in the selected view.

• Interference edges. Displays both hidden and visible edges that are otherwise excluded due to an interference
  condition.
• Tangent edges. Displays a line to show smooth edges formed by surfaces intersecting tangentially.
• Foreshortened. Shortens the length of tangential edges to differentiate them from visible edges.
• Bend extents. Displays sheet metal bend extent lines. Sheet metal bend extent lines indicate the
  location of transition about which a bend hinges or folds, in a flattened sheet metal
  representation.
• Thread features. Displays thread lines on screws and tapped holes.
• Presentation trails. Displays the lines (in drawing views from exploded views) that show the direction
  along which a components are moved into assembled position.

Cut Inheritance

Specifies if the view created out of a section view inherits the section cut. This
option is disabled in this view.

View Options

Displays the View Options dialog box. This dialog box specifies how to anchor the
base view being created, and how to display Inventor Reference Parts.

Modify Panel

Move

Moves the base view being created, after it is placed in the drawing area, without
forcing you exit the command.

Create Panel

OK

Completes the view creation process and closes the Drawing View Creation Ribbon Contextual
Tab.

Cancel

Exits the view creation process and closes the Drawing View Creation Ribbon Contextual
Tab.
