Detail Envelope Selection command bar

The Detail Envelope Selection command bar is displayed when you select the detail envelope in a source view so that you can edit it. After you have placed the detail view, you can select its circular or custom border to edit view properties.

Drawing View Style

Selects a style for the drawing view. This option is not available when Drawing View Style Mapping is enabled.

Detail envelope name

Displays the characters assigned to the detail envelope name. The label is system-generated using the automatic naming sequence defined in the Specify Annotation Letters dialog box. You can use the name the software supplies, or you can type one. All names within one document must be unique.

You can modify the detail envelope caption using the Caption tab of the Detail Envelope Properties dialog box.

You can show and hide the detail envelope name and related caption text using the Show Caption option.

Show Caption

Displays a list of options for showing or hiding the detail envelope caption. If the detail envelope caption is shown, you also can choose whether to show or hide the view sheet number. You can adjust the position of the caption text with the Select tool.

You can use these independent Show Caption controls to display the view sheet number when the detail view and the source view with the detail envelope are on different sheets.

Note:

You can use the following check box on the Annotation tab (Solid Edge Options dialog box) to show the sheet number automatically when the views are moved onto different sheets, and to hide the cross-reference when the views are on the same sheet:

  • Show sheet number if parent annotation (e.g. cutting plane) and derived view (e.g. section view) do not reside on the same sheet

Properties

Accesses the Detail Envelope Properties dialog box, where you can change the envelope color and line properties and the detail envelope caption properties.

Define Profile

Displays the detail envelope editing tools on the ribbon, so you can draw a new detail envelope profile or edit an existing detail envelope shape.
