Property Overrides Dialog Box (AutoCAD Mechanical Toolset)

Use this dialog box to override the visibility properties of a folder or component view geometry.

Override Properties

Enables property overrides for the selected folder or view. Checking the Override Properties check box enables the dialog box controls without changing values.

Visibility

 

Contours Only

Isolates the contour (continuous) lines in a folder or view. It can be used in conjunction with CEnterline visibility and Color, but is not available in conjunction with Hidden Line visibility.

 

Hidden Lines

Turns off visibility of hidden lines in a folder or view. This option is disabled when the Contours Only visibility check box is selected.

 

Centerlines

Controls centerline visibility. By default, the check box switches centerlines off and on. However, when the Reference or Contours Only visibility check box is selected, the centerlines switch is off by default, but can be turned on when the check box is selected.

Predefined

Controls a predefined override style, making the folder or view reference geometry, represented by phantom lines and a color change.

 

Reference

Visibility of everything except contours is turned off. Contour lines are changed to the configured linetype of the phantom line layer (AM_11 by default) and the color of contour lines is changed to the configured color of the phantom line layer (AM_11 by default).

When the reference override check box is selected, centerline visibility is off by default. Select the CEnterlines visibility check box to turn visibility back on.

Note: This option does not convert the selected component into a reference component. Use the browser right-click menu option “Reference” to set an instance of a component as a reference component.

Color

Overrides the color of an entire folder or view.

 

Contours Only

Applies color change to contours only when this and the Color check box are selected.
