Command line: CLASHMGMT
Runs interactive clash detection on 3D solids in the current drawing and any attached XREF drawings. You can also add soft clashes to locations of your model for items that could potentially clash with other parts of the model, or for areas that need to remain clear of obstructions, such as where a level on a valve needs free movement.
Clash On
Turns clash detection on in the 3D model.
Clash Off
Turns clash detection off in the 3D model.
Show Clashes
Displays all clashes, which are represented by spheres, in the model.
Clash Settings
Displays the Clash Settings dialog box. For more information, see Clash Settings Dialog Box.
Soft Clash Volumes
Places a box around an object or defined space to indicate an area that needs to be avoided for operations or maintenance. A soft clash is not a solid object; it is a volume of space that you reserve for operations or installation. After placing a soft clash volume, you can use 3D solid editing tools to manipulate the soft clash size, and location. CADWorx places soft clash volumes on the VolumeArea layer with the Plot option for printing turned off by default. To turn on plotting of soft clash volumes, type LAYER, and then find VolumeArea in the layer list. Click the Plot icon to turn on printing.
