Map drawing view styles

You can either assign all drawing views to use the same style, or you can selectively assign different drawing view types to use different styles.

Assign the same style to all drawing view types
  1. On the Drawing View Style tab (Solid Edge Options dialog box), from the Set all styles list, select the drawing view style that you want to assign to all drawing views.

  2. Click the Apply button alongside the Set all styles list.

  3. To apply the drawing view style automatically when placing new drawing views, select the Use drawing view style mapping check box.

Assign different styles to different drawing view types
  1. On the Drawing View Style tab (Solid Edge Options dialog box), in the Element-to-Style mapping table, click the first drawing view type, such as Principal and Pictorial Views.

  2. From the Style list on the same row of the table, select the drawing view style that you want to assign to the drawing view type.

  3. Repeat the first two steps for all other drawing view types.

  4. To apply the drawing view style mapping automatically when placing new drawing views, select the Use drawing view style mapping check box.

Tip:

  • The styles that are available for mapping are defined using the Styles command and then choosing Drawing View from the Style Type list.

  • When the Use Drawing View Style Mapping box is checked on the Drawing View Style tab of the Solid Edge Options dialog box, then the Drawing View Style Mapping button also is set on the command bar when placing or modifying a drawing view.

    When the Use Drawing View Style Mapping box is not checked, Solid Edge uses the active style to define the appearance of drawing views as you place them.
