If you are associating volumes to a graphic drawing view, the following ribbon options appear:

Select View

Shows either all of the graphic views in the drawing or a list of selected views from the drawing. You can multi-select views before running the Associate Objects to View command to populate the list with only the selected views. As you click volumes to associate them to the currently shown view, the list scrolls to the next view automatically. The views are listed in alphabetical order.

Exclude Objects

Allows you to select objects to exclude from the drawing view or to view objects that have been previously selected for exclusion from the drawing view. When you click Exclude Objects, the Accept/Cancel buttons enable on the ribbon so that you can confirm the selection. Excluded objects are highlighted.

  • You should associate your volume before excluding objects from the volume.

  • You can select the objects from the model, or from the Workspace Explorer, but you cannot select referenced objects that originate from files on the Reference tab of the Workspace Explorer.

  • You can clear objects that have previously been excluded from the drawing view by clicking on the object.

  • If you exclude an object while the related tab of the Workspace Explorer is active, the child objects are automatically excluded. For example, if the System tab is active when you exclude a system object, then all of the children objects are also excluded. If the related WSE tab is not active, only the object that you specifically select is excluded. For example, if you exclude a pipe run while the Space tab is active, the child parts of the pipe run are not excluded.

Select Volume

Sets the command in select mode so that you can select a volume graphically or from the Workspace Explorer. After you select a volume in the workspace window, you can use the other controls on the ribbon to further define the objects collected for the drawing view. This is the default setting when the command ribbon appears.

Cancel

Clears all objects selected for exclusion from the drawing view and returns you to the previous Select volume command step.

Accept

Accepts all objects selected for exclusion from the drawing view and returns you to the Select volume command step.

Filter

Specifies a filter to restrict the objects to include in the volume. You can right-click and select More to select a filter from an existing list of filters or to create a new filter.

  • You should not use filters from the My Filters folder when using the Filter option on the Associate Objects to View ribbon.

  • Section and detail views inherit filters used by the Filter option from the parent view.

Properties

Displays the properties for the selected filter.

Clear Filter

Clears the currently selected filter. This button only enables when you have selected a filter in the Filter dropdown field.

Look Direction

Indicates the view direction for the drawing view. The current setting is taken from the drawing view properties, set when the view was created with the Place View command in SmartSketch Drawing Editor. If you change the Look Direction, you are also changing the view direction property on the drawing view. If you select From Active View, the software uses the Look Direction of the active graphic view.
