Display graphic overlays of coupling components in the 3D model - CADWorx - Help

When you draw the component and have the Graphics Overlay rule set to Overlay in Enhanced Mode or Overlay in Enhanced & Solid Mode, the component displays the same as your original 3D solid.

To see the differences do the following:

1. Type CONVERTENHANCED on the command line, and then press ENTER twice.

2. Click Setup .

   If you completed either Create a graphic overlay from a block or Create a graphic overlay from a drawing, then you already have a specification set. However, if you added your overlay using the steps in Assign a graphic overlay to a coupling component in the Specification Editor, then you must set the specification where you updated your coupling component data tables.

3. Click Piping Rules.

4. Set the Graphics Overlay to Disable Overlay.

5. Set the Auto Coupling Rule to Automatic - All Connections.

6. Click Apply and Close.
