Decal command bar (Planar projection)

Displays the Decal Options dialog box.

Displays the Insert Image dialog box so you can selects the image to use to create the decal.

Selects the face or faces on which you want to place the decal.

Selection Type

Sets the method for element selection.

Single

Specifies the selection method is a single face. You can also select multiple faces with the option set to Single.

Note:

You can use Shift+click to remove a face.

Chain

Specifies the selection method is a face chain.

Feature

Specifies that the selection method is a feature.

Body

Specifies that the selection method is a body.

This button changes function as you move through the feature construction process. The Finish button constructs the feature using input provided in the other steps. After you construct the feature, you can edit it by re-selecting the appropriate step on the command bar. The Cancel button discards any input and exits the command.

Accepts the current input.

Deselects the current input.

Displays the feature name. Feature names are assigned automatically. You can edit the name by typing a new name in the box on the command bar or by selecting the feature and using the Rename command on the shortcut menu.

Selects the plane or planar face to place the image used to create the decal. You can then project the image onto the face(s) to apply the decal.

Create-From options

Sets the method of defining the profile plane.

• Coincident Plane—Defines a plane that is coincident to an existing reference plane or a planar face on the part. When you set this option, a default X-axis and direction is applied to the new reference plane. You can use keyboard accelerators to define a different X-axis and direction for the new reference plane.

• Parallel Plane—Defines a plane that is parallel to an existing reference plane or a planar face on the part. When you set this option, you can specify the parallel offset distance. When you set this option, a default X-axis and direction is applied to the new reference plane. You can use keyboard accelerators to define a different X-axis and direction for the new reference plane.

• Angled Plane—Defines a plane that is at an angle to an existing reference plane or planar face on the part. When you set this option, you can specify an angle value.

• Perpendicular Plane—Defines a plane that is perpendicular to an existing reference plane or planar face on the part.

• Coincident Plane By Axis—Defines a plane that is coincident to an existing reference plane or a planar face on the part. When you set this option, you define the X-axis and direction for the new reference plane using a linear edge, a planar face, or another reference plane.

• Plane Normal to Curve—Defines a plane that is perpendicular to a curve you select.

• Plane By 3 Points—Defines a plane by three keypoints you select.

• Tangent Plane—Defines a plane that is tangent to a curved face on the part. You can select a cylinder, cone, sphere, torus, or b-spline surface. When you set this option, you can also specify the angular rotation value. When you set this option, a default X-axis and direction is applied to the new reference plane. You can use keyboard accelerators to define a different X-axis and direction for the new reference plane.

• Feature's Plane—Defines a plane that is coincident to a reference plane used to define an earlier feature. You can select the feature you want using Feature PathFinder or in the graphic window. This option is not available when constructing the base feature.

• Last Plane—Automatically selects the reference plane used for the previous feature. This option is not available if the last feature was a pattern or when constructing the base feature.

Selects the plane or planar face where the image resides so you can position the decal. To display the reference plane, sketch, and image for the decal, right-click the decal and select Show Sketch. After the sketch is displayed, you can move and constrain the decal image within the sketch.

Positions and constrains the decal image on the selected plane.

Adjusts the decal display by adjusting the height, width, angle, and aspect ratio.

Width

Specifies the width of the image.

Height

Specifies the height of the image.

Angle

Specifies the angle of the image.

Flip Horizontal

Flips the image horizontally.

Flip Vertical

Flips the image vertically.

Lock Aspect Ratio

Locks the aspect ratio of the image so that it scales proportionally.

Respect Aspect Ratio

Resets the aspect ratio to the image's original proportions.

Toggle Border Display

Toggles the display of the image frame.
