General Drafting view options

Use the General page to specify default view settings:

• Default scale — Enter a value to scale of the model in the view.
• Add model items — Use this option to choose where else to display an object created in a view or a model. The table below shows where objects are displayed when the Add model items option is selected or deselected.

• Display boundaries — Select this option to display the drawing and view boundaries in the drawing window. Deselect the option to display the boundary of an active view.
• Display workplanes — Select this option to display any workplanes created in drawing views. Deselect the option to draw a dot at the origin of the workplane, so you can snap to the origin.
• Print origins — Select this option to include the drawing view origins when you print the draft.
• Third angle — Select this option to create a relative view using the third angle projection. Deselect the option to use the first angle projection.
• Ignore view levels — Select this option to display the content of all levels in the drawing view.
  Note: Electrode users should update the levels in each view separately.
• Convert to— This sets the default option for the Convert command on the Drawing context menu.
• The Convert option exports a 2D wireframe representation of a drawing to a View or another Drawing.
  • Drawing — Select to convert a drawing to another drawing when the Convert... option is selected on the Drawing context menu.
  • View — Select to convert a drawing to a view when the Convert... option is selected on the Drawing context menu.
• Remove duplicates — This removes any duplicates when the view is converted. It also specifies the default setting for the Remove duplicates option on the Convert View dialog.
