To Work with Trails in a Presentation View

To add or remove trails

To edit trails, edit the tweak that the trails belong to.

1. In the graphic window, select a trail corresponding to the tweak to edit.
   If no trail is available, select a tweak in the browser:

   • In the Assembly View, expand a component node, and select the tweak to edit.
   • In the Tweak View, expand the tweak to edit, and select a component.
   • In the Sequence View, expand a Sequence, and select the tweak to edit.
2. Right-click, and click Edit.
3. To change the default set of trails created for the tweak, select an option from the Default Trails list.
4. To add individual trails:
   • On the Tweak Component minitoolbar, click Add, and select Full Trail or Trail Segments. In the graphic window, click points on the tweaked components to add trails.
5. To delete individual trails:
   • On the Tweak Component minitoolbar, click Delete. Then select Full Trail or Trail Segments.
   • In the graphic window, click trails to delete. Trails that belong to the edited tweak are highlighted.
6. Click OK to save the edits and exit the command.

To show or hide existing trails

You can control the visibility of trails in an exploded view.

• To hide the trails for a component, select the component in the graphic window or in the browser, right-click, and select Hide Trails.
• To turn off the visibility of a trail segment, select the trail segment in the graphic window, or select the corresponding tweak in the browser. Right-click, and click Visibility to clear the check mark.
• To turn on the visibility of a hidden trail segment, select the corresponding tweak in the browser, right-click, and select Visibility.
  Note: If trails for a component are hidden, you cannot display a trail segment by turning on its visibility. Show the trails for the component, then set the visibility of the trail segments.

To add a full trail to a tweaked component

Add a trail to an existing tweak to clarify relationships between components. For example, add trails between corresponding features on the components.

1. Select the component in the Assembly or Sequence View of the browser, or in the graphics window.
2. Right-click, and select Add Trail from the menu.
3. Click in the graphics window to set the start point of the trail.
4. Right-click and select Done to place the trail.
