Drawings by Rule View Styles - Intergraph Smart 3D - Reference Data - Hexagon

View styles are used as part of the definition of marine mode drawings by rule components. A view style defines source objects and the following conditions for the source objects:

Catalog Filters

• Custom tests applied to the filters

• Graphic styles

• Label rules

• Dimension rules

• View queries

Using the Tools > Define View Style command in the Drawings and Reports task, you specify the rule set you want to use for your drawing view style. When you create a new view style or modify an existing style, you select the rule set and specify source conditions on the Action tab of the Edit Ruleset View Style dialog box. You specify view query properties on the Query tab of the Edit Ruleset View Style dialog box. For more information, see Define View Style Command (Tools Menu). There is no need to directly edit the view style XML files. All values are set in the Edit Ruleset View Style dialog box.

Each type of drawing uses a specific view style to achieve the appropriate output. The delivered view style XML files are found in the [Reference Data Folder]\ SharedContent\Drawings\Catalog\Rules\RulesetStyles folder.

The following definitions apply to the view styles:

• Steel Order - Draws detailed and light (non-detailed) parts. Uses short name and typical labels for profiles and plates.

• Expansion - Draws parts in their unfolded form.

• Preview - Provides limited output for graphics by providing a preview of the target plate. You can use the preview to position the views or clip the smart frame before updating. The preview also provides enough geometry to place section and details views. After updating the view, the complete resymbolized geometry is shown.

• Shell Profiles - Draws individual shell profiles and level 2 non-target parts connected to the profiles.

• Member Part - Draws members created in the Structure task.
