With Snap all [Zoom all], you can bring the display of the component to a balanced size. The component is visible large enough, but does not protrude beyond the 3D view window when rotated. If the option Exact [Explicit zoom] zoom option is set (see Section 3.3.6.4.1, “ Handling ”), the display within the window is enlarged to the maximum.

	Note
	The command is displayed if several parts have been selected via Ctrl key.

In addition to the option of transferring components to your CAD system, you can also send them to PARTbom.

PARTbom (bom = bill of material) is an administration module with which you can compile parts lists for orders of components and assemblies. You can find a detailed description of PARTbom under Section 3.2, “ PARTbom ”.

You can both transfer single parts and a selection of different individual parts of an assembly:

After making your selection, click on Selected components [Selected parts] -> Send to PARTbom [Transfer to PARTbom] in the context menu.

-> A dialog box for selecting the number of parts opens. Adjust the number and confirm with OK.

-> PARTbom then opens with the following query:

Select an option and confirm with OK.

The components are entered directly in the parts list [Bill of material].

Transparency: Regulation of the transparency of a body

Using the slider, you can adjust the transparency continuously from fully visible to invisible.

Detailed information on the part comparison can be found under Section 3.1.6.10, “ Part comparison ”.

This command starts an automated rotation of the current body.

The command exists in the context menu as well as in the 3D toolbar .

Rotation takes place around the center of rotation.

Right-click on any point in the component and select the Set rotation center command (also in the context menu) to set the animation's rotation center.

To cancel the animation, click on the Animation command again or anywhere in the 3D window.

Under Views you will find 6 axis-related perspectives as well as an iso-, di- and trimetric view [Trimetric view] (perspective projection [Perspective projection] ).

Alternatively you can find the commands in the toolbar.

Normal on surface [Normal to face] rotates a component with the marked surface frontally (vertically) to the viewer.

Enter rotation angle opens the Specify rotation [Set rotation] window. Enter a numerical value and click on the corresponding "Axis button".

Initial position

End position

Select a sectional plane and the desired offset in relation to zero level. Depending on the algebraic sign an offset in positive or negative direction results.

More details can be found under Section 3.1.7.6.7, “ Define section cut... ”.

See Section 3.1.7.6.3, “ Measuring 3D parts ”.

See Section 3.1.7.6.4, “ Measuring grid ”.

You have the option of creating a printout of the 3D view of the component/assembly.

When clicking on the command the respective settings dialog box of your operation system opens.

Context menus of parts and assemblies slightly differ. At assemblies the context menu depends on whether the focus is inside or outside of the assembly.
