Provides access to views and their attributes for the currently displayed drawing or template.

Drawings View Explorer

Displays a list of sheets and views on the active sheet and a list of unplaced views available for placement. This window is available in SmartSketch Drawing Editor when you have a Drawings by Rule template or drawing open. The Drawings View Explorer displays by default as a right-side window in the SmartSketch Drawing Editor when you:

  • Edit a template associated with a Drawings by Rule component. Right-click the component, and select Edit Template on the shortcut menu.

  • Edit an existing drawing document. Right-click a Drawings by Rule drawing document in the Detail View or the Drawing Console, and select Edit on the shortcut menu.

SM3DDrawingsViewExplorer

The Drawings View Explorer allows you to see views that are available for the current drawing. Assigned views appear beneath a drawing sheet. Unassigned views appear in the UnAssigned Folder. Views are identified by the following icons:

SM3DDrawingsViewExplorerUnAssigned

- The view is manually created in the drawing document within the 2D environment. The view is assigned to a drawing and all 2D geometry is up to date with the 3D model.

- The view is manually created in the drawing document within the 2D environment. The view is assigned to a drawing and 2D geometry is out of date with the 3D model.

- The view is not assigned to a drawing, and is in the UnAssigned Folder.

- The view is assigned to a drawing, and there were errors in processing the 2D geometry. The update skips the geometry errors.

View UpToDate Automatic ICON - The view is automatically created from the Drawing Console. The view is assigned to a drawing and all 2D geometry is up to date with the 3D model.

View OutOfDate Automatic ICON - The view is automatically created from the Drawing Console. The view is assigned to a drawing and 2D geometry is out of date with the 3D model.

Shortcut Menu

The Drawings View Explorer also allows you to update, refresh, delete, or edit properties by right-clicking on a view or a set of selected views from the same sheet.

Update

Performs a smart update of geometry in the view(s). Rules in the software determine whether to perform:

  • An incremental update of the geometry for added, modified, and deleted objects.

  • A full update of all geometry.

See Update and Full Update Commands.

When Update performs the first option, it is usually faster than Full Update but still results in all geometry being up-to-date for the view.

Full Update

Performs a full update of all geometry in the view. See Update and Full Update Commands.

Refresh

Compares the date of the last update of the views with the modification date in the model for any object that has a positive (can be seen) resymbolization in the drawing. See the Refresh Command.

Delete

Moves one or more views to the UnAssigned Folder, or deletes views permanently if the view was placed by the drawing rule set. See Place View Command.

Properties

Opens the Drawing View Properties dialog, allowing you to change the properties of a drawing view. See Drawing View Properties Dialog (Place View Command) - Steel Order Drawings.

Update Selected

Performs an update on objects that are first selected in a view or in the 3D model. You can perform Update Selected on both full and cropped views. Only the selected geometry is updated in the view. Other geometry affected by the selected geometry is neither checked nor updated. As a result, the view is marked as out-of-date . This option is only available when:

  • A drawing is created with a Drawings by Rule component. See the Orthographic Drawings Help.

  • The 2D/3D Selection Command select_3D is clicked. 2D/3D Selection select_3D causes geometry in the view to be actively linked to its 3D model object.

View Log

Displays a log of the results from the last update performed on the view.

Move Sheet(s) Command

Moves the selected sheets from one document to another under the same Drawings by Rule component.
