Flatshot dialog box
The Flatshot dialog box allows you to create a flattened, hidden line representation of 3D solids, 3D surfaces, and polyface meshes as a block or a new drawing.
- Destination
- Visible lines
- Hidden lines
Destination
Determines where the block should be placed. Several options are available
- Insert new block
- Inserts the flatshot block as a new block in the current drawing by specifying some characteristics
- Replace existing block
- Replaces a block already inserted in the drawing.
- Export to file
- Saves the flatshot block as a dwg-file trough the Select Export File dialog box.
Visible lines
Sets the linetype and color for the visible lines. Choose the linetype and color from
the drop lists.
Note: A new linetype can be loaded into the
drawing trough the Load Linetypes dialog box by selecting Load. A new line color
can be selected trough the Select Color dialog box by selecting Select
color.
Hidden lines
Toggles the display of hidden lines and sets their properties.
- Display hidden lines
- Toggles the display of hidden lines.
- Resolution
- Resolution specifies the short entity that will be represented by a hidden line. Enter a negative value so that the program will determine this automatically. The range is 0.01 to 0.000000000001.
Display tangential edges
Toggles the display of tangential edges. A tangential edge is the imaginary transition line between two tangent faces.
Preserve entity layer
When on, maintains the layers of entities in the block.
