Changes the properties of the selected drawing view object.
List of Options
The following options are displayed.
- Model Space Selection
- This option is available only if you are editing a base view that was generated from model space.
- Return To Layout
- Switches to the layout containing the drawing view.
Representation Panel
This panel is visible only when you are editing a view created from an Inventor model. The options you can view and edit depend on the properties of the selected model. You can only edit the values for Design View.
- Design View
-
Specifies the assembly design view representation to show in the selected view.
This option is available only if the selected view is created from an Inventor assembly (*.iam) that contains design view representations.
- Positional
-
Specifies the positional representation to show in the selected view.
This option is available only if the selected view is created from an Inventor assembly (*.iam) that contains positional representations.
- Level of detail
-
Specifies the level of detail representation to show in the selected view.
This option is available only if the selected view is created from an Inventor assembly (*.iam).
- Weldment
-
Specifies the weldment state to show in the selected view. The list does not explicitly show the preparatory state. Instead, it displays the names of the components in the pre-welding preparatory state.
This option is available only if the selected view is created from an Inventor weldment assembly (*.iam).
- Member
-
Specifies which member from an iAssembly factory or iPart factory to show in the base view.
This option is available only if the selected view is created from an iAssembly factory or an iPart factory (*.iam, *.ipt).
- Sheet Metal
-
Specifies the sheet metal view to show in the selected view.
This option is available only if the selected view is created from an Inventor sheet metal file (*.ipt).
- Presentation
-
Specifies the presentation view to show in the base view.

Appearance Panel
- Hidden Lines
-
Specifies the display style to use for the selected view.

- Foreshortened. Shortens the length of tangential edges to differentiate them from visible edges.
- Bend extents. Displays sheet metal bend extent lines. Sheet metal bend extent lines indicate the location of transition about which a bend hinges or folds, in a flattened sheet metal representation.
- Thread features. Displays thread lines on screws and tapped holes.
- Presentation trails. Displays the lines (in drawing views from exploded views) that show the direction along which a components are moved into assembled position.
