With the Zoom all button you bring the display of the part onto a balanced measurement. The part is large enough, but still does not protrude over the 3D view window during rotation. If the option Explicit zoom has been set (see Section 3.3.8.4.1, “ Handling ”) the display within the window is maximally enlarged.

Note The basic assignment of mouse keys happens under PARTdataManager - > Extras -> Settings... -> 3D settings -> Mouse and keyboard. Details on this can be found under Section 3.3.8.4.2, “ Mouse and keyboard assignment”.
Via context menu command, you can change the assignment of left mouse key.
Turn on the option by clicking on the menu item.
As soon as you move your cursor over a possible insertion point, a catch shows up. Confirm the selection by clicking once.
--> The insertion point is displayed with a green arrow.
Turn off the option by selecting another menu item.
Information about Insertion point can also be found under Chapter 7, PARTdesigner in eCATALOGsolutions Manual and Chapter 9, Configurator in eCATALOGsolutions Manual.
You have the opportunity to print the 3D view of the part/assembly.
When clicking on the command the respective settings dialog box of your operation system opens.

The single parameters of dimensionings are displayed in the docking window Edit element.
Details on the single tools and their parameters can be found in the following. | |
The dimensioning mode can be opened in different ways:
In the following the single tools/functions of Dimensioning mode are explained.
Horizontal dimensioning at 2 points
Select dimension position or base dimension...: Drag the dimensioning line to the desired position.
If it is about multiple dimensionings which shall connected with always the same offset, then first click on a base dimension and then on the desired position. In this case the offset refers to the base dimension and not on the line to be dimensioned itself. When a base dimension changes, all dimensioning based on it are also automatically changed.
-> The docking window Edit element is opened.
If needed, in the docking window Edit element, adjust the values of the single parameters.
By default, "{AUTOMATIC}" is displayed in curly braces.
"AUTOMATIC" takes the current value from the geometry.
Define a static or dynamic or mixed static-dynamic Dimension text.
Hello
Dimension text: static-dynamic
K={K}Only enter the desired variable. The respective value is dynamically generated.
{L}Relevant digits: Specification of the displayed Decimal digits of Dimension text.
Other direction: The dimensioning line is positioned on the other side of the element.
Horizontal offset: Define the horizontal text shift of the dimension text from center.
Vertical dimensioning at 2 points
Parallel dimensioning at 2 points
Diameter with angle and distance
Select circle: Click on the circle to be dimensioned. -> The dimensioning line appears.
Select dimension position: Position the dimensioning (inside or outside the circle).
Variant 1: Fix the Angle of the line with a single mouse click. Then drag the entire dimensioning onto the desired Position and deposit it with a mouse click.
Variant 2: Fix angle and position of dimensioning in one step by a double-click.
Adjust the dimensioning in the docking window Edit element via input fields.
Radial dimensioning with angle and distance
Create radius of a circle or arc
Half value offset dimension from line
Select reference line...: Click on the reference line (rotational axis).
Select dimension point...: Click on the point, whose distance to the reference line shall be dimensioned.
Select dimension position or base dimension...: In the free space, click on a point which is approximately corresponding to the desired offset.
If it is about multiple dimensionings with always the same offset, first click on a base dimension and only then on a point in the free space. In this case, the offset refers to the base dimension and not to the point.
The drawing illustrates the dimension between rotational axis and line to be dimensioned (on the right [standard vertical dimensioning]) and half dimensioning (on the left [duplicate value]).
Distance dimensioning from point to line
Select dimension point...: Click on the point whose distance to the reference line shall be dimensioned.
Select dimension position or base dimension...: In the free space, click on a point which is approximately corresponding to the desired offset.
If it is about multiple dimensionings with always the same offset, first click on a base dimension and only then on a point in the free space. In this case, the offset refers to the base dimension and not to the point.
This markup function sets part-annotations and is very versatile.
Follow the instructions of the status line:

In the PARTdataManager the two following tools are available in the Dimensioning toolbar, in the PARTdesigner, in the Standard toolbar.
When moving the cursor over a dimensioning it will show up in red.
Context menu: When clicking with the secondary mouse key the context menu is displayed.
In the PARTdataManager, you can perform the following changes:
