The Viewing Plane Selection command bar is displayed when you select the viewing plane in a source view so that you can edit it.

Drawing View Style

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

Viewing plane name

Displays the viewing plane name. This 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 view annotation caption using the Caption tab of the Viewing Plane Properties dialog box.

You can show and hide the auxiliary view plane name and related caption text using the Show Caption option.

Show Caption

Displays a list of options for showing or hiding the viewing plane caption. If the viewing plane 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 auxiliary view and the source view with the viewing plane 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 view 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 Viewing Plane Properties dialog box, where you can change the viewing plane line properties and the viewing plane caption properties.
