File/Part - The drop-down list contains the VX files currently opened by the active session. The active file is selected by default. You can select another file from the list or pick the folder icon to select another file using the File Browser. The list below contains the parts in the selected file. Select a part to layout.
Preview - Setting the preview mode to Graphics or Attributes will display the selected part in the preview window or the part's attributes in the Part Attributes Form. These options are similar to the Object Browser and the Root Object Browser.




Use these popup icons to select which views to display for each of the four views. You can select a view or choose not to have that view displayed. You can also use the 2D Tab of the VX Configuration Form to set the default layout configuration. You can use these attributes to over-ride those defaults.
Projection angle - Sets the type of projection used when creating the layout view. Select 1st or 3rd angle.
General, Label, Line Attributes - See View Attributes Form for a description of each attribute.
File/Bundle - See Attribute Bundles and Form Commonalities.
Other Options - See Command Options Forms for additional options not listed here.
Config - This option allows you to specify an assembly configuration to use for the layout. Select a configuration from the list. Configurations have to exist in the assembly before this option is available.
State - Use this option to create a view based on a certain state in the history defined by a Backup Feature. Select from the list of Back Features.
