Appearance
| Use document settings |
Specifies whether to use document display settings when the document opens, or in additional windows or views on the document. When selected, ignores Application appearance settings. |
| Use application settings |
Specifies whether to use application options display settings when the document opens, or in additional windows or views, on the document. When selected, ignores Document display settings. |
| Settings | Opens Display Appearance dialog box. |
Interactive Component Appearance
| Shaded |
Specifies whether to display inactive component faces as shaded. Select the check box to enable shading. Clear the check box to display inactive components in wireframe. |
| Opaque |
With Shaded selected, you can set opacity for shading. Enter the percent opaque, or click the up or down arrow to select the value. Default = 25% opaque. Shaded for inactive component set to On, with 25% opacity.  Shaded for inactive component set to On, with 50% opacity.  |
| Display Edges | Sets the edge display for inactive components. When selected, displays edges of inactive models based on application or document appearance setting for model edges. If model edges use a single color, select a different color for inactive components to discern between active and inactive states. |
| Color | Activates the color picker. Specify the color for display of inactive model edges. |
Display
Display quality
Sets the resolution for the display of the model.
Display quality set to smooth.
Display quality set to rough.
Display Quality set to smooth.
Display Quality set to smoother, and Maintain Enhanced Graphics Detail enabled.
View transition time (seconds)
Controls the time required to transition smoothly between views when using viewing commands (such as Isometric View, Zoom All, Zoom Area, View Face, and so on). Zero transition time causes transition to be abrupt, which can make it difficult to understand changes in position and orientation. Three sets the greatest amount of time to transition between views.
Minimum frame rate (Hz)
With complex models (such as large assemblies with a high component count), specify how fast to update the display during interactive viewing operations (like Rotate, Pan, and Zoom). To maintain a high frame rate, the system sometimes simplifies or discards parts of the view. The view restores when movement ends.
- Set 0 Draw everything in the view, regardless of the time required.
- Set 10 Draw at least ten frames per second.
- Set 20 Draw at least twenty frames per second.
3D Navigation
Default Orbit Type
Changes the default behavior of the Orbit command.
Free Orbit behavior is relative to screen.
Constrained Orbit behavior is relative to model.
Zoom Behavior
Check or clear either checkbox to change the zoom direction (relative to mouse movement) or the zoom center (relative to the cursor or screen).
- Selected Mouse cursor moving upward in the display zooms in. Rolling the mouse wheel toward the display zooms in.
- Cleared Cursor moving upward in the display zooms out. Rolling the mouse wheel toward the display zooms out.
- Seleted Zoom operates with respect to the center of the display.
- Cleared Zoom operates with respect to the cursor position.
ViewCube... Opens the ViewCube Options dialog box, where you can define the display and behavior of the ViewCube navigation command.
SteeringWheels... Opens the SteeringWheels Options dialog box, where you can define the display and behavior of the SteeringWheel navigation command.
Origin 3D indicator When selected, turns on the display of the XYZ axis indicator and direction labels at the bottom left corner of the graphics window.
Show origin 3D indicator When selected, in a 3D view, displays an XYZ axis indicator in the bottom left corner of the graphics window. Red arrow indicates the X axis. Green arrow indicates the Y axis. Blue arrow indicates the Z axis.
Show origin XYZ labels When selected, displays XYZ labels on the arrows of the respective 3D axis indicator directions. Selected by default. Available when Show origin 3D indicator is turned on.
