Allows you to interactively specify volumes or other model objects as input for the selected drawing views. If the view is a key plan or report view, you specify an existing drawing view. This command is also used in creating composed drawings in a 3D task. The command is only available in SmartSketch Drawing Editor when you create a new drawing or open an existing drawing from a 3D task.

When you select a view and click Associate Objects to View , the Associate Objects to View ribbon appears on the 3D task window. Associate Objects to View turns off 2D/3D Selection so that you can move back and forth between the 3D application and SmartSketch Drawing Editor, selecting views and associating volumes or model objects.

  • If the volume you want to associate to the drawing was created with the Place Volume Along Path command in the Space Management task, the path used to create the volume must only consist of a single straight segment. However, the cross section of this volume can be composed of straight lines and curves.

  • When using a Snapshot view style, all objects within the associated volume are included in the drawing view, regardless of exclusions made using Associate Objects to View .

  • When using a Volume view style, only the objects returned by the filters in the view style are included in the drawing view.

  • An error message displays if a volume is not selected in the 3D application.

  • If a 3D task process is running (for example: a recompute of relationships after moving a grid plane), an informational message displays and Associate Objects to View is canceled.

  • Views that are too small to display the volume are automatically sized larger to fit unless the view is set to Fit to Scale or is managed by a region. Likewise, views that are larger than the volume are automatically resized to fit unless the view is set to Fit to Scale or is managed by a region. The view size grows or shrinks from the center of the view and view proportions may change after the resize. The drawing must be saved to make the resize of the view permanent. See Automatic Resize Behavior of Composed Views.

  • To remove associated inputs from a view, use Remove Associated Inputs Command .

  • Section and detail views inherit filters used by the Filter option from the parent view.
