2D Layout for 3D Design (LO1) - P1

General Issues

Cut/Copy/Paste via drag and drop
Cut/Copy/Paste operations on 2D Layout sub-elements, via a drag and drop operation in the 2D side window specification tree, are no longer supported starting from R17 level.
These functions were confusing since expected behavior would be to perform some reorder operation.

However:

  • Classical Cut/Copy/Paste operations are still available for 2D Layout features.
  • Drag and drop is still available for 3D nodes instantiation in a Product structure context (i.e. for non 2D Layout nodes).
Layers and Visualization filter functionalities disabled in 2D Layout for 3D Design
Layers and Visualization filter functionalities are disabled in 2D Layout for 3D Design. However, if the current layer is defined and a visualization filter is set in the 3D window, users may encounter visualization inconsistencies with 2D Layout for 3D Design elements whose layer is other than "None". Therefore, it is recommended not to activate visualization filters in the 3D window while editing 2D Layout for 3D Design data.
Measure Function Enhancement
Up to R16 SP2, the measure function was erroneously provided with 3D user interface and behavior level, instead of 2D.
From R16 SP3 and R17 (and upper) GA levels , it is correctly provided with 2D user interface and behavior level, as it is in other Drafting products.
As a result:
  • Measure by free-hand picking on screen is disabled, to allow only accurate measure by geometry selection.
  • Keep measure (and create 3D geometry) is disabled, to prevent creation of a non-normalized element within a layout sheet.
