Tags, Dimension Labels, and Orientation

The ability to move and hide Tags and update Dimension labels is the same for STRATUS Sheets in Packages and Assemblies. The orientation set by the View can also be overridden.

To move or hide tags/dimension labels in the STRATUS Sheet:

  1. If neither the Dimensioning or Display - Item Numbers tool is turned on in the 3D viewer:

    1. Neither Dimension or Item Numbers will display in the 3D Viewer.
      Note: In the example below, the STRATUS Sheet Report > Template > View Style settings for Render Dimensions and Render Item Numbers is checked, therefore, these display in the STRATUS Sheet but are not editable.  See the View Styles (Admin) article for more information.



    2. Click the Adjust view orientation and annotation button.  

    3. Neither Dimension or Item Numbers will will be editable in the STRATUS Sheet.

    4. Notice the orientation can be changed using the cube or a click/drag with the mouse.

  2. When either Dimensioning and Display - Item Numbers tools are turned on in the 3D Viewer:

    1. Either Dimensions, Item Numbers, or both, like in the example below, will display in the 3D Viewer.


    2. Click the Adjust view orientation and annotation button.  

    3. Either Dimensions, Item Numbers, or both, like in the example below, will be editable in the STRATUS Sheet.

    4. Notice the orientation can be changed using the cube or a click/drag with the mouse.



  3. To Move or Hide STRATUS Sheet dimensions and/or Item Numbers, with either Dimensioning and Display - Item Numbers tools are turned on in the 3D Viewer, click the Adjust view orientation and annotation button . 

     

  4. The Item Number tags and Dimensioning labels will display. Hover over a tag or label and the Move and Hide buttons display.


    1. Move - Note: Moving a dimension or a tag will affect all viewports as well as the 3D viewer. As a result, after moving a dimension, the Cancel button does not move the dimension back to a previous position, rather it is saved.
      To move the tag/label:

      1. Click the blue move button and let go of the mouse.

      2. Move your mouse toward where you want to place the tag. The tag will disappear as you move your mouse. A leader will display and will follow your mouse.

      3. Click the mouse when you are ready to place the tag. The tag will display.


      4. Click Save or Cancel. When the viewer refreshes, the dimension is moved in the STRATUS Sheet and the 3D viewer.


    2. Hide - Click the hide button. The tag will change to be semi-transparent with gray text on the viewport being edited.


    3. Click Save. When the viewer refreshes, the dimension is hidden in the STRATUS Sheet, but remains visible in the 3D viewer.



  5. Note: If you try to set the orientation on a view placeholder with all parts filtered out (the assembly will not display if all parts have been filtered out) based on the view style set on the template, you will get a message saying that there is nothing visible to be oriented and the operation will be canceled.
