About
Drawing Style Manager User Interface
The Drawing Style Manager user interface reflects the structure of a drawing style.
Drawing Styles Management
The Drawing Style Manager offers all the necessary tools for managing drawing styles.
Drawing Style Properties
A drawing style is composed of one or several views. A view has properties, objects, dimensions and labels. The drawing style also has properties accessible on the properties panel.
Views
Model Objects
In Advance, functions are assigned to the model objects either by applying construction rules or interactively. In the drawing creation, these functions are used to explicitly differentiate individual object groups.
Labeling Strategies
A labeling rule contains settings for the content, the layout and the label arrangement.
Dimension Request
A dimension request defines the dimensioned objects in a dimension chain.
Processes
In addition to the drawing styles, Advance includes Processes, which automatically create the drawings (using appropriate drawing styles) and arrange the created details within a drawing (DWG) or across several drawings.
