DesignSeries05160.pngAdvanced design layer viewport properties

To access additional design layer viewport parameters, click Advanced Properties from the Object Info palette of a selected viewport. The Advanced Viewport Properties dialog box opens. These settings affect the viewport display only; they do not affect the original design layer(s).

Parameter

Description

Black and white only

Changes all colors in the viewport to black or white; this is useful for displaying two viewport copies on the same design layer, with one in color and the other in black and white. However, if the document preferences display setting is black and white, viewports will also display as black and white.

Adjust Flipped Text

Re-orients rotated and flipped text in the viewport so that it is always readable. The text box stays in the rotated and flipped position relative to the dimension line, but the text itself is re-oriented. (This setting overrides the flipped text preference for the document; see Document preferences: Display tab.)

Re-Position Dimension Text

Re-positions rotated and flipped dimension text in the viewport according to the text position in the dimension standard. The text itself stays in the rotated and flipped orientation, but the text box position relative to the dimension line is changed. (This setting overrides the flipped text preference for the document; see Document preferences: Display tab.)
