Controls parameter settings on clashes.

Start up

Indicates whether clash detection runs on drawing start up.

  • On

Clash detection is always on for every drawing.

  • Off

Clash detection is off for every drawing.

On Clash Management

Indicates what happens when a clash is detected.

  • Show Palette

The software displays the Clash View palette every time a clash is detected.

  • Show Tray Notification

The software notifies you through the tray bubble notification that a clash has occurred.

Ignore soft clashes

The system ignores all soft clashes generated with the Soft Clash Volumes tab.

Synchronize layers from XREFs

Indicates whether the system checks for clash layer data inside externally reference drawings and updates the master drawing clash layer data to match. If a layer in an XREF is excluded from clash detection, the XREF layer is also excluded in the master drawing.

Synchronize clashes from XREFs

Indicates whether the software checks for clash data inside external reference drawings and updates the master drawing data for that clash.

  • Only New clashes in the master drawing which are from an XREF drawing have the status updated to match the status that is saved in the XREF drawing. You cannot change the status of a clash that is from the XREF drawing; the clash status of an XREF is read-only.

  • If Clash Detection identifies any clashes between XREF items in your model, the clashes display in read-only mode. You must edit XREF items in the original model to resolve clashes.

Ignore insulation clashes

The system ignores all clashes generated from components created with the CADWorx Insulation View palette.
