Instructions
Activate the function:
- Open the Edit Mode ribbon at the top of the screen and select the Label function from the menu bar
Pick a drawing:
- Choose a drawing in DXF format from the Drawing section in the pop-up box
Resize the drawing:
- Scale the drawing to your preferred size using the input field, as it will initially appear in its original dimensions
Move the drawing:
- Click on the Move button in the pop-up box to place the drawing in the correct position
- Align the part, if necessary, with the view cube in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen
- Set the height of the drawing using the input field, and decide if it should be added as raised or engraved by selecting one of the icons next to the height field
Apply the drawing:
- Click the Apply button in the pop-up box to permanently attach the drawing to the part
- If the part already has planned supports, review the notification 'Continue editing supported part?' and choose to either Remove the support or Continue with it (or Cancel the action).
- Click the Unmark All button (gray arrow and a small black cursor) in the taskbar at the bottom of the screen to remove the markings from the newly created triangles used for visualization
