Jagged Cut Edges in Section Views

You can select the type of break lines for partially sectioned components in section and detail views. Smooth and Jagged options are available in the Section View dialog box, Edit Section Properties dialog box, and the Style and Standard Editor dialog box.

By default, cut edges are displayed as smooth lines.

To change the Default Cut Edges setting to jagged lines:

1. In the Style and Standard Editor, select the Active Standard.
2. On the View Preferences tab, select Section or Detail as the View Type.
3. Under Default Cut Edges, select Jagged.

   

To override the setting for a specific section view, select Jagged in the Section View dialog box, or in the Edit Section Properties dialog box.

Automatic Text Wrapping in Title and Column Headings in Drawing Tables

The General, Part Lists, Hole, or Revision tables in drawings, columns, and headings now support automatic text wrapping. Column headings wrap to a minimum width to accommodate the largest word in the column. Table headings wrap to the minimum width of the included columns.

Tip: Legacy drawings, when first opened, continue with the legacy behavior. To change a table to include the new functionality, open the Edit Table dialog box and click OK to allow for text wrapping.

New Adjust QTY Setting in Parts List Filter for Design Views

A new Adjust QTY option is added to the Design View Filter for a Parts List in a drawing. The Adjust QTY option is accessible through the Filter Settings dialog box.

When the Adjust QTY checkbox is enabled, the option quantity in a parts list adjusts according to the visibility of the items in the design view. Only these visible parts are taken into account for QTY and ITEM QTY columns in a parts list.

For more information, see Filter Settings Dialog Box.
