Define default equivalences for 2D/3D symbols

Layout tab > 3D and view group >  3D functions menu > 3D symbol functions menu > Default equivalences for 2D/3D symbols

With this function, you can define the default equivalences between 2D and 3D symbols. Equivalences are used when generating 3D drawings. In 3D generation, the equivalent 3D symbol will be inserted above the 2D symbol according to the symbol's elevation.

Change equivalences

Do the following:

  1. From the 2D symbol list, select the 2D symbol for which you want to change the 3D equivalence. The current 3D symbol equivalence is shown on the right.

  2. From the 3D symbol list, select a new 3D symbol.

  3. Save the new equivalence by clicking Save.

Add new equivalences

Do the following:

  1. Next to the list of 2D symbols, click Add .

    The Symbol name definition dialog opens.

  2. Enter a name for the 2D symbol. Alternatively, select a 2D symbol in the Symbol selection dialog (see Symbol selection) by clicking From menu, or from the current drawing by clicking Pick. Accept the selection by clicking OK.

  3. Select the equivalent 3D symbol from the list. If the correct 3D symbol is not in the list, click Add next to the list of 3D symbols, and enter the name of the 3D symbol. Alternatively, select the 3D symbol in the Symbol selection dialog by clicking From menu, or from the current drawing by clicking Pick. Accept selection by clicking OK.

  4. Save the new equivalence by clicking Save.
