Plane View Pictures

When generating in a plane view, the picture of the panel is very similar to the picture from a separate generation. However, there are - or may be - certain differences:

• The in-view picture may be distorted because of projection.

• The "positive side" of the drawing may be opposite to that of the panel itself, causing different line types for stiffeners, brackets,

• In the view, much of the information in a separate panel picture is already there beforehand. Therefore, this information is left out on the panel picture, for example, cross-sections of longitudinals/transversals and stiffeners on bounding panels.

• Excess material is left out from the picture.

• The S- and F-numbers on stiffeners and flanges are replaced by position numbers, if set. They are normally stored in a layer that is blanked out.

• No separate picture of the bracket pattern is produced.

From these facts only, it is obvious that the pictures of the same panel generated separately and in a view, respectively, are not exchangeable against each other.
