Declaration of dimensioning views

See Section 5.9.4.3.3, “Example: Variants of dimensioning views ”.

Correct declaration in the case of 3D models:

Under Variants, you can use the default value (none) and create VERS 1, but you can also leave (none) empty and create the lines VERS 1 and VERS 2.

Simply use the default line under modes [Modes] " (none) " to assign the 3D model.

A) Using variant (none) and VERS=1

B) Using variant VERS=1 and VERS=2

Another correct assignment option is to create a new line with its own term under 3D models -> Modes (which, however, does not represent any real gain compared to the direct use of the line (none)).

	Note
	Incorrect model assignment: Once under modes [Modes] " (none) " and once under modes [Modes] "variant ". A warning [Warning] will appear for Test Meta. Warning - Error in component: <path>: The 3DB was not loaded ...

(none) also acts as fallback

If there is a 3D model assignment for the variant (none) in the Variants dialog area, this variant is used as a "fallback" for all cases in which variants (in the example below "VERS=2") are not assigned a model.

	Note
	Up to V11 SP3, a warning always appeared in TestMeta if no 3D model was assigned to a variant. As of V11 SP4, a warning no longer appears in this case if a "fallback variant" is entered under (none).
