Smart 3D Version
13.1
Isogen Version
13.0(2016)

Allows you to move back and forth between the SmartSketch Drawing Editor application window and the 3D window. This command is only available in SmartSketch Drawing Editor when you create a new drawing or open an existing drawing from a 3D task. This command is turned off by default when you open a document in the SmartSketch Drawing Editor

Behavior while Turned On (Object Select/Highlight Mode)

When the command is on, you can select geometry in a drawing view, and the software highlights and selects the corresponding object in the 3D model. The object is selected even if it is not currently visible or displayed in the 3D workspace. If you select an object in the 3D task window, the software highlights the corresponding geometry in the drawing view in SmartSketch Drawing Editor. However, if the object is not included in the drawing view, no geometry highlights. The filters in the drawing view style dictate the content of the drawing view.

You can also multi-select 2D objects (groups and views) using the CTRL key.

If you select a drawing view (instead of geometry in the view), the 2D/3D Selection command turns off automatically and the Associate Objects to View Command is active. You can then modify the volumes or views associated to the selected view.

Behavior while Turned Off (View Input Mode)

The command is off by default when you open a drawing.

When this command is off, geometry selected in a view is not actively linked to its 3D model object and the drawing document is in view input mode. You can modify the layout and contents of the drawing sheet and the properties of the drawing views.

When 2D/3D Selection is off, you can click the Associate Objects to View Command , then move back and forth between the 3D application and SmartSketch Drawing Editor to associate drawing views to volumes in the model.

Considerations for Using the 2D/3D Selection Command

  • 2D/3D Selection , by default, only allows selection of 2D group elements that correspond to 3D model objects.

  • You can use the spacebar key to toggle the selected drawing view when this command is used to associate objects to objects in the model. See Associate Objects to View Command.

  • Selecting a smart label in a SmartSketch Drawing Editor document selects the associated 3D object in the 3D application.

  • Selecting a volume in the 3D application selects the associated views in the SmartSketch Drawing Editor document.

  • The 2D select set is cleared when you close the drawing document.
