Enables you to choose the type of mode to display the drawing view with. The possible selections are as follows:
| Geometry only (default) | In this mode, the view has no shading and is drawn as a set of curves (only this mode was present in previous releases). |
| Geometry and Image | In this mode, shading is added to the view using a bitmap image as background. Since geometry is still present, the view is fully associative — it is possible to add dimensions and geometry. You are enabled to customize the image resolution, rendering modes, and effects parameters in this mode using the Image category under the Drawing View - Visibility category. |
| Image only | In this mode, the drawing view is represented as a bitmap image captured from the 3D model. The views created in Image only mode are much faster to regenerate, but the 3D geometry represented in the drawing as image is not pickable and then it is not possible to add dimensions and geometry. You are enabled to do the similar customization of the image as done in Geometry and Image mode. Additionally you can also choose the "edge" types to be displayed in the view. |
