Preferences Dialog, View Options Category
Setting | Description |
---|---|
View ToolBox | If on (the default) , sets the position of where to dock the tools in a view window. Default position is Top. |
Scroll Bars | If on, view windows are displayed with borders, including scroll bars and view control bars. The default is off. |
Black Background -> White | If on, the view background color (if set to black) is displayed in white. The default is off. |
Preserve Aspect Ratio | If on, the product attempts to open views based on the aspect ratio of views from the last saved version. It only applies if you have changed the size of the product's application area since saving a file. The default is off. |
Anti-alias Lines | If on, angled lines appear smoother (jagged edges are smoothed) in views. |
Anti-alias Text | If on, TrueType fonts appear smoother (jagged edges are smoothed) in views. |
Line Weights | Opens the Line Weight Translation dialog , which is used to set the display width (in pixels) for each of the 32 line weights. |
Update Refresh | Sets the frequency (in seconds) that the display is refreshed during updates. The default is 1.0. |
Frame Rate for View Tools (frames/sec) | Sets the minimum number of frames per second during viewing operations. Higher values mean less information may be displayed, or drawn, per frame. |
Gamma Correction | Affects the brightness of rendered images on the
Right/primary (and, if present, a Left/secondary) screen.
Gamma correction compensates for the spectral characteristics of the display or printer. The default value of 1.7 is close to ideal for most monitors. The valid range is 0.1 to 3.0. Increasing the Gamma Correction setting has the effect of lightening images; decreasing it darkens images. A change in this preference is effective the next time a view is updated. |
Dynamics | Sets the amount of transparency used to display
elements in dynamics. This is particularly useful when working in shaded views.
The default setting is moderately opaque. |
Auto-Locate | Set the amount of transparency in the Element
Highlight Color used to flash (highlight) elements for auto-locate
(the
Element Highlight Color is set in the Color item of the Design File Settings
dialog.)
When set to Opaque, highlighted elements appear in the Element Highlight Color. As you move the slider towards Clear, progressively less of the highlight color and more of the original element color is seen in the highlight color. The default is moderately clear. |
Auto-Locate Display Thin Edges in Overlay | If on, (the default is off) auto-locate displays the edges of elements as they are highlighted in views. |
No Animation On View Rotation | If on, the view is rotated without animation. This improves the performance on large models. Default is off. |
