To Show or Hide Work Features in Drawing Views

You can recover work features from the model into a drawing view and use them as data, or for annotation purposes.

Set the style attributes for work features in the Object Defaults style for the active standard used by the drawing.

The following represent work feature status in the browser:

	Normal text	The work feature exists in the model but has not been recovered in the drawing (the Include option is not selected).
	Normal text	The work feature is recovered in the drawing and is visible (the Include option is selected).
	Strike-through text	The work feature is recovered in the drawing but it has been made invisible (the Visibility option was unselected).
	Bold text	The work feature was excluded from the drawing (the Include option was unselected).

Automatically Recover Work Features when You Place a Drawing Base View

1. On the ribbon, click Place Views tab Create panel Base .

2. In the dialog box, select the model file, view orientation, and other settings.

3. Click the Recovery Options tab, and select User Work Features.

Recover Work Features in Existing Views

If a view was placed without recovering the work features, you can use Include Work Features to recover them. When you recover work features in a drawing view, they are always visible in the drawing, regardless of their visibility setting in the component.

1. Select the view components in the browser or the graphics window.

2. Right-click the component, and select Include Work Features.

3. In the Include Work Features dialog box, specify preferences about work features to recover:

   • In Recovery Depth, specify if you want to recover work features from the selected component or the component and everything below it in the browser hierarchy.
   • In State, specify if you want to recover visible work features, invisible work features, or both.
   • In Type, select which user work features and origin work features you want to recover.

4. (Optional) To recover a single work feature. Expand the model in the browser, right-click the work feature to recover and then select Include.

Change the Visibility of Individual Work Features in Views

After you recover work features in a drawing, you can hide individual work features. You can also use Show Hidden Annotations to show hidden work features.

1. Select the work feature in the graphic window or browser.

2. Right-click and select Visibility to clear the check mark to make the work feature invisible.

3. To show invisible work features, select the work feature in the browser. Right-click and select Visibility to make the work feature visible again.

4. (Optional) To show hidden work features. Right-click the view and select Show Hidden Annotations. In the browser, select the work feature, center marks, and centerlines to show, right-click, and then select Done or Show All.

Exclude Work Features from Drawing Views

After a work feature is recovered, use the Include menu option to exclude work feature centerlines and center marks from the drawing.

The only way to include an excluded work feature is to include it using Include. Include Work Features or Automated Centerlines (used to recover work features) ignores excluded work features.

1. In a drawing view of a model with work features or in the browser, click to select work features, center marks, or centerlines.

2. Right-click and click Include to clear the check mark.
