“BOM” Tab
Groups Database. Defines the name and the path of the
database file keeping the set of BOM groups. The
specified database will be the one used in creating new
and reading already created BOMs.
Template Folder. Defines the path to the folder of
template files used for creating new BOMs. The files
from this folder will be displayed in the “BC: Create
Bill of Materials” command dialog box.
Hidden Records Background Color. Defines hidden
records background color. Hidden are considered the
records deleted from the BOM but yet still stored in its
inner data structure. The way of displaying hidden
records in a BOM is defined accordingly.
Background Color of Records Linked with Positions. Defines the background color of the BOM records
whose positions have been already set on the assembly drawing. This is used in the “BL: Create BOM
Leader Note” command dialog box.
“3D” Tab
140
This tab is specific to the three-dimensional version of the system. It defines the settings used while working
with a 3D model.
The “Workplanes” group of settings define various
parameters of workplanes:
Standard. Defines the situation of the three default
workplanes per the selected standard as follows:
ANSI – frontal elevation view, bottom-up plan view,
right-hand side view; ISO - frontal elevation view,
top-down plan view, left-hand side view.
Number of grid lines. This parameter defines the
number of intermediate lines in the image of a
workplane in the 3D view representation.
Selection of workplanes in the 3D view by default is
restricted to picking at the outer lines (the border) of
the workplane. If necessary, the selection can be
expanded on all the lines of the workplane image,
both the border and the inner grid, by setting the flag
“Select by all grid lines”.
The following group of parameters allow setting the size
of the coordinate system image on the 3D scene.
Size of Scene Coordinate System. Defines the size of
the coordinate system image displayed in the lowerleft
corner of the 3D window.
Size of Dragger Coordinate System. Defines the size of coordinate system-like draggers used in various
3D commands.
