Dimensions - Check to load dimensioning information. 2D parts don't need this to be checked, as the drawing supplied with the file should provide all the dimensioning data. 3D detailing information may clutter a screen to an unacceptable level, so use with caution.
Dimensioning entities are loaded as normal entities (that is, not into Classic View port 15) so that each port can be zoomed as necessary.
Blanked Entities - Check to load entities marked with a 'blank status' in the IGES file. These entities are placed on layer "Layer254".
View Definition - Check to load 'view entities' from the IGES file. This should be used when the IGES file is known to contain view entities (IGES types 410 or 404). EdgeCAM performs a pre-processing pass on the IGES file to pick up view and drawing information prior to entity information.
