Section View
For attachment in the absolute coordinates, you can simply click . The view notation will then fix at the
current pointer position.
For attachment to a 2D node, you need to use the option (the automenu icon ) or rely on the object
snapping. As the pointer approaches a 2D node or a line intersection, the respective entities are highlighted.
You can then click .
By default, the arrow is positioned horizontally and directed from left to right. The arrow direction can be
quickly rotated by the angle multiple of 90° by pressing the automenu icon or the key .
For attachment to two nodes, subsequently use the automenu options:
Set First Attachment Point
Set Second Attachment Point
and consequently select two 2D nodes.
You can change the text position with respect to the arrow line at any time by using the option or the
key .
Pressing the automenu icon or the key brings up the “View Direction Properties” dialog box, with
the following parameters available for editing:
The group “Text”:
Text. The text entered in this box will be displayed
next to the arrow. By default, this entry is filled with
letters in the alphabetical order, starting with the
letter “A”. You can manually input a text string of
arbitrary length.
Offset. Sets the text offset from the arrow.
Along Arrow. Sets text offset along arrow.
The group “Arrow”:
Length. Sets the length of the view direction arrow.
Scale. Defines the size of the view direction arrow.
The “Default” setting corresponds to the parameter
value calculated based on the “Arrow (end) size”
parameter in the command “ST: Set Model
Status” (the tab “Lines”).
Line Width. Sets the line thickness of the view
direction arrow.
The “Default” setting corresponds to the parameter value calculated based on the “Line thickness/Thick
lines” parameter in the command “ST: Set Model Status” (the tab “Lines”).
Type. Defines the type of the view direction arrow.
