Bookmark custom drawing profiles

To save a projection bookmark as a preset drawing profile

You can set a custom drawing profile to work on a specific part in a drawing, and you can bookmark this profile in the document for later use. When you need to work on that part again, you can simply click the bookmark in the drawing window to activate the custom drawing profile. Bookmarks for custom drawing profiles are called projection bookmarks.

Projection bookmarks let you quickly activate a custom drawing profile from the drawing window to continue working on an element.

Using the controls in the Projected Axes docker, you can hide the projection bookmarks you have placed at any time; and you can delete them when you no longer need them.

Projection bookmarks don’t show as objects in the Objects docker; they can’t be printed or exported to a file. However, you can save a bookmark as a drawing profile preset that can be used in other drawings.

To bookmark a custom drawing profile

1 In the Projected Axes docker, set a custom drawing profile using any of the available methods.

You can specify x, y, and z values, or you can define a projected drawing plane interactively in the drawing window,

2 Click the Bookmark custom drawing profile button

to the left of the Drawing profiles list box.

3 In the Bookmark Drawing Profile dialog box, type a logical name for the projection bookmark. For example, if you are working on a specific part using this drawing profile, type the name of that part.

Click Place Bookmark. The dialog box is closed, and the Place bookmark cursor

appears.

4 Click where you want to place the bookmark in the drawing window.

To cancel the bookmark before placing it, press Esc.

Projection bookmarks are added to the top area of the Drawing profiles list box and are saved with the document.

The name and location of a projection bookmark can’t be edited after you place it. If you need a projection bookmark with a different name and location and no longer need the one you placed, delete the existing bookmark and place another bookmark. For information about deleting projection bookmarks, see To delete a projection bookmark.
