Sets the frame view direction on special supports for use in drawing production.
Special support frameworks created in the Supports application have their frame direction set automatically and this is used to define the main view direction in automated drawing production. The Special Frame Direction window provides more specific control of this, and allows you to set a view direction on structures added manually to special supports.

CE |
Click to select the existing special support as the current element. The support name displays in the field. Note: |
|
Identify By Cursor |
Click to identify a special support using a cursor pick in the 3D view. You are prompted to Pick Special Support Structure : The CE field is populated with the name of the identified special support. |
|
Frame View Direction |
Input a value in the field to define the frame view direction. For example, input W WRT /* to define a West direction with respect to the World element. |
Click Apply to set the special support frame view direction or Cancel to discard any inputs and close the Special Frame Direction window.
Note:
The setting can be used in conjunction with View Direction, available on the Support Editor window, which sets the view direction to be opposite. The Supports Drawing application
automatically changes a stored frame direction of West, South or Down to East, North
or Up respectively. This can be overridden using View Direction to force the main view to be West, South or Down. Refer to View for further information.
