Displaying Stored Curves

To display any of the curves that have been stored for a particular design, either an orthogonal view or an isometric view must be assigned to a graphics window.

Display stored curves

1. To do this click the icon to display the View Settings dialog.

   

2. Select Apply in the Orientation page to assign the default isometric view to a graphics window, having selected the Isometric option in the Type panel.

   If only one graphics window is currently being used then the view will automatically be assigned to this window. If more than one graphics window is being used, the graphics will be assigned to the current window denoted by an asterix (*) on the window title bar.

3. All the stored curves can then be displayed by clicking the Apply button in the Display page, having selected the All Curves option in the Curves panel.

   The Orientation Page of the dialog, is used to assign a view to a graphics window. The Display page selects which type of stored curves to display. The Grid page is used to display a grid in an orthogonal view.

4. (Optional)An alternative method of performing the above steps, is to use the isometric view and display all curves icons from the View toolbar.

The commonly used orthogonal curves can be displayed from the View toolbar. The display sections icon, display waterline icon, display buttock icon and display all icon perform the same function as the respective options on the View Settings dialog.
