Provides options for generating expansion views. An overview of the required inputs is shown in the following graphic:

This ribbon displays only when the Associate Views to Object Command option is set to Expansion. See General Tab (Edit Ruleset View Style Dialog) in the Drawings and Reports Reference Data Help.

Expansion Surface

Select a plate system or plate part for which you want expansion drawings. You can select multiple plate systems or plate parts.

Cutting Planes Axis

Select a coordinate system axis for defining the cutting planes.

Base Plane Definition

Select a plane that is normal to the grid planes of the cutting plane axis.

Offset Plane

Select a plane that is perpendicular to the grid planes of the base plane and cutting plane axes. This plane is the reference plane from which the curve is expanded. This is an optional input.

Expansion Direction

Defines the expansion direction. This option is available only when the base plane intersects the expansion surface. If you select Positive Direction, the expansion surface on the positive side of the base plane will be expanded and its corresponding drawing will be generated. If you select Negative Direction, the expansion surface on the negative side of the base plane will be expanded and its corresponding drawing will be generated. If you select Both, the expansion surface will be expanded completely and its corresponding drawing will be generated.

Block or Volume

Select a bounding block or volume. This is an optional input.

Cancel

Clears the selected options and allows you to continue the selection process.

Accept
