Specifies which symbols display in the Drawing View. Select View > Apply Display Set to open this dialog. Display sets use filters that control which symbols you want to display. You can save these filters and share them with other users working in the same Plant. If a display set is currently active, its name displays in the lower right-hand corner of the product.
Display sets can be created manually or automatically. For the manually created display sets, you can define filters, colors and widths for the display items. For automatic display sets, filters are created automatically with colors and widths already defined, that you can modify as required.
The automatically created display sets are shown in the AutoDisplaySet folder that appears under the plantās folder. See Working with Auto Display Sets.
To remove the results displayed by selecting the Apply Display Set command, select View > Clear Display Set.

Color
For manually created filters, this column shows the selected display color of the items in the selected filter. For automatic filters, it shows the color auto assigned to the filters. You can click in the Color field to display a color palette and then select any color to define a new color for any selected item(s). The default color square is defined with the crosshatch pattern. Default is the color value specified in Options Manager for the item type's symbology.
Width
For manually created filters, this column shows the selected display width of items defined in the selected filter. For automatic filters, it displays the default width defined for the filters. A wider display width would cause the item to be more visible. Default is the width value specified in Options Manager for the item type's symbology.Legend Box

-
The display sets and filters created automatically function in the same way as the display sets and filters created manually.
-
For a display set that contains one or more asking filters, on selecting Apply, the Asking Filters dialog opens with the default values for each asking filter, allowing you to change the operators and values of each asking filter's attributes, if desired. The attribute values you selected are used when saving or printing the drawing and those values are retained until the display set is cleared for that drawing. This applies on a per drawing basis; therefore if the same display set is applied to more than one drawing, you can enter different attribute values for each asking filter and those values are retained independently for each drawing.
