The following steps show you how to compare drawing objects to 3D model objects.
-
In a 3D modeling task, such as Common, select Tools Menu > Drawing Console.
-
Right-click a drawing document and select Edit to open a drawing document in the SmartSketch Drawing Editor.
-
In the SmartSketch Drawing Editor, zoom into a drawing view to select the drawing object you want to compare to the 3D model.
-
Click 2D/3D Selection to move focus to the 3D application. The 3D model object selects and highlights in the graphic windows.
Considerations for Using the 2D/3D Selection Command
The 2D/3D Selection command, by default, only allows selection of 2D group elements that correspond to 3D model objects.
-
You can use the spacebar key to toggle the selected drawing view when this command is used to associate objects to objects in the model.
-
Selecting a SmartLabel in a SmartSketch Drawing Editor document selects the associated 3D object in the 3D application.
-
Selecting a volume in the 3D application selects the associated views in the SmartSketch Drawing Editor document.
-
The 2D select set is cleared when you close the drawing document.
