To Change the Display of Graphic Subdivisions in a 2D Elevation

Use this procedure to change the display of subdivisions in a 2D elevation by changing its display properties.

You create subdivisions by adding them to the elevation line. You can then change their length using grips or by editing the values in the elevation line properties.

Each subdivision in a 2D elevation is assigned to a numbered subdivision display component in the display properties of the elevation or the 2D elevation style. You can control the visibility, layer, color, linetype, lineweight, and linetype scale of each subdivision by changing the display properties of each component. You can apply these changes to the selected elevation, to the current 2D section/elevation style, or to all 2D sections and elevations in the drawing that do not have a style override.

You can use the display properties of a subdivision together with the display properties of a material.

  1. Select the 2D elevation in the drawing, right-click, and click Edit Object Display.
  2. Click the Display Properties tab.
  3. Select the property source to edit:
    If you want to edit graphic subdivisions… Then…
    for all 2D sections and elevations in the current drawing (except those that have a 2D Section/Elevation Style override) select Drawing Default.
    for all 2D sections and elevations that use the current style select 2D Section/Elevation Style, and click Object Override.
    for the selected 2D elevation Select 2D Section/Elevation, and click Object Override.
  4. If necessary, click .
  5. Click the Layer/Color/Linetype tab to list all the components that contribute to the display of the object.
  6. Turn the visibility on or off, and change the layer, color, linetype, lineweight, or linetype scale as needed for each subdivision component.
  7. Click the Other tab to add a custom display component to the display of the 2D elevation.
  8. Click OK twice.
