Drawing Layout Enhancements

The 2021 SP1 release of KeyCreator Pro has added a new Un-Align function to break the alignment lock between view instances in a drawing layout. This capability is useful for moving a dimensioned section view out of the projected location at which it was created. A highlighted phantom line has also been added to indicate which views have an alignment relationship which each other.

A valuable new option has been added to the definition of view instances which allows view orientation to remain locked on an associative display view from model mode. This feature supports rotation of part geometry in model space without any re-orientation occurring in drawing views.

Additional Enhancements

A new Transparency option has been added to Trim Planes which allows visualization of the sectioned model behind the trimming plane. With this option combined with transparency settings on solids or part references, users can see details inside a complex assembly.

The Un-Stitch function has also been enhanced, based on a customer request, to support selection of faces of bodies which are in a part reference entity. This allows creating a quick copy of part or tool faces, saving the steps of opening the part reference for editing.

A new function button has been added to toggle a setting named Foreground Selection. With Foreground Selection enabled cursor selection is prevented from accidently selecting edges and faces in the interior or backside of a solid.
