drafting, and production tasks and various drawing types. If your drawing
does not contain these display configurations, you can import them. For
more information, see Display Configurations on page 796.
Templates and the drawings based on them contain layout tabs with display
configurations assigned to viewports for specific tasks. Examine your
building model in these different layouts to see if objects are displayed as
you want them to appear.
â– Before creating or modifying display configurations, review the predefined
configurations to see if they meet your needs or if you can readily adapt
them for your project.
â– When possible, use a predefined display configuration as the basis for
configurations you create. Starting with a display configuration that is
similar to what you need helps you to work efficiently. You can modify
only the settings that need to change, rather than creating everything from
scratch.
â– When you modify a display representation, the changes affect every display
set and display configuration that use that representation. To apply changes
more selectively, create a new display representation for the object and
assign it to the display sets in which the changes are to appear.
â– Similarly, when you modify a display set, the changes appear in every
display configuration that uses the display set. And if you modify a display
configuration, the changes appear in every viewport to which the
configuration is assigned. To apply the changes more selectively, create
custom display sets and configurations.
â– Remember that changes made to display representations through the
Display Manager apply only to the default display properties of objects.
Changes to the display properties of object styles and individual objects
override the default display properties. In addition, if the default display
properties assign a material to object components, the display properties
of the material determine the appearance of the object.
Creating a Display Configuration
Use this procedure to create a display configuration. You can create a display
configuration using standard default properties or by creating a duplicate of
an existing configuration.
