When you select the View Wizard command to define a part view, you can use the Drawing View Wizard command bar to make changes to how the view is sized. The command bar is available only until you click to place the view on the working sheet.

You can select the border of an existing drawing view to modify it using the Drawing View Selection command bar and the Drawing View Properties dialog box.

Back

Reopens the Drawing View Wizard so you can modify the drawing view creation options.

Drawing View Style Mapping

Specifies that the drawing view will use a predefined style, which is set on the Drawing View Style tab of the Solid Edge Options dialog box.

When the Drawing View Style Mapping button is cleared, you can select and apply individual styles. Choose the style from the Drawing View Style list.

Drawing View Style

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

Best Fit

Assigns the calculated best fit scale to all of your new part views. The scale value is shown in a box on the command bar.

Set View Scale

Set the scale of the new view to match the current sheet scale.

Scale List

Selects an alternative scale value to use to place the selected view.

Note:

Scale values are defined in the Drawing View Scales section of the Custom.xml file, in the Solid Edge Program folder. See the Help topic, Add custom drawing view scales to Solid Edge.

Set Sheet Scale

When selected, sets the sheet scale to match that of the drawing view being placed. If this is the first or primary drawing view placed on the sheet, then this automatically sets the view scale for all drawing views subsequently added. This ensures that the scale of all drawing views on the sheet is consistent.

This button is selected by default if the sheet scale is already linked to another drawing view on the sheet. You can use the Set Sheet Scale shortcut command on the sheet tab to determine which drawing view it is associated with.

When deselected, the new view is placed using the value shown in the Scale List. The sheet scale and the drawing view scale are not associative.
