Local coordinate system selected as the main view coordinate system cannot be deleted.
Save 3D Picture data in model file. Sets the mode of saving the 3D image in the document file. This saves
the regeneration time on opening the file while taking more disk space for the file. Besides, a file with the
saved 3D image can be used as a 3D picture (see the command “Operation|3D Picture” ).
To define the parameters driving the 3D model behavior upon assembling as a fragment in another model,
use the dialog invoked by the [Fragment…] button. The dialog will set default LCS used for fragment
fixing, parameters for automatic creation of Boolean operation, and conditions of using a component in
section view of assemblies. See more details on this dialog functionality in chapter «3D Assemblies
Creation», section «Preparing a T-FLEX CAD document for use as a 3D fragment».
The [Assembly…] button serves to define parameters that optimize the use of computational resources and
RAM when working with a large assembly model. Upon clicking the button, an additional “Assembly
Management” dialog window opens, in which you can set the following resource-saving modes:
Unload Body Geometry Automatically. When this parameter
is set, the model enters the Large Assembly Mode. In this
mode, some information about the assembly model geometry
is dumped on the hard drive. This information will be loaded
as it becomes necessary. A detailed information about the
large assembly mode is provided in the chapter “3D
Assemblies Creation” of the T-FLEX CAD 3D modeling
user manual.
Don't show Threads. Upon setting this parameter, cosmetic
threads will not be displayed in a complex 3D model.
Don't show Parts Smaller than. If this parameter is set, then
3D objects with the size less than the specified (in model
units) will not be displayed in the 3D model.
Don't show Welds. Cosmetic welds will not be displayed if this parameter is set.
The regulator “Detailing” allows using coarser mesh for 3D visualization if the mesh was saved in the file
of the model.
Default Parameters
For convenience of drawing creation, common parameters can be defined for 2D and 3D drawing elements,
such as color, layer, level and priority, and, additionally for 3D operations, the material. The selected
parameters are assigned to the newly created elements by default, but only for those whose types were
selected from the list.
The following command is used for setting the default parameters: “PD: Set Default Parameters”:
