Showing and hiding caption content

There are multiple levels of display control for captions:

• For the drawing view.

• For the source view where the cutting plane, viewing plane, or detail envelope is located.

• For individual elements of the caption, such as the view name, suffix, sheet number, rotation angle, and the view scale.

You can selectively show and hide drawing view caption content using the following controls:

• On the Caption tab in the Drawing View Properties dialog box or in the Drawing View Style dialog box, you can:

  • Use the Show check boxes on the Caption tab under Drawing View and under View Annotation to control whether the primary caption and secondary caption are displayed by default when the view type or view annotation is placed.

  • Use the Show check boxes at the bottom of the Caption tab—under Properties—to selectively control whether individual property text strings are extracted and displayed in the caption.

• After selecting a drawing view, use the Show Caption button on the Drawing View Selection command bar to control whether a Primary or Secondary caption is shown or not, and if shown, whether individual, subordinate parts of the caption (such as view annotation name, suffix, view scale, and angle of rotation) are displayed.

• After selecting a view annotation, use the Show Caption button on the command bar to control whether the caption is shown or not, and if shown, whether the view sheet number is displayed.
