Properties

• View Side – the direction of view used to render the board drawing. Use the drop-down menu to select from a range of preset view directions.

  When the Left (True Geometry), Right (True Geometry), Front (True Geometry) or Back (True Geometry) option is selected, the view of the whole board with all components is calculated at once, so these options can result in a more precise view in some cases, while the calculation time might increase. For a side view, it is recommended to use one of these options if their performance is sufficient. Otherwise, use the Left, Right, Front, or Back option.
• Rotation – the angle of rotation used to render the board drawing, as applied by the drop-down menu.
• Display holes – use the drop-down menu to set which board (through) holes will be shown.
• Minimum Diameter – sets the smallest board hole size that is shown when the Minimum diameter only option is selected for Display Holes.
• Variation – select a project PCB Variant (if available) as the data source for the Assembly View. The Document:xx option is a Variant specified for the document under Document Options in the Properties panel (Source section).
  In the placed Assembly View, omitted variant components are not shown or are indicated as a colored mesh as determined by the Variants Display and Pattern settings (under General) in the Properties panel's Document Options mode. See Design Variants for an overview of managing board design variations.
• Component Caption – set the parameter source for the text captions associated with components (Designator or BOM Item Position) from the drop-down menu.
• Show Silkscreen – use the drop-down to select from the following:
  • None - select not to show the silkscreen.
  • With Components - select to show the appropriate silkscreen overlay with components on the drawing (Top or Bottom overlay, depending on View Side setting).

  • Use the color selection button to specify the graphic overlay color.

Show additional data

• Topology – check to enable an overlay of the board layer associated with the current View Side (Top or Bottom), rendered in the color set by the associated button (). This option also checks the SMD/Through-Hole pad options, which may be enabled independently.
  A board that has multiple Layer Stack regions, such as a Rigid-Flex design, is likely to have a different Topology (outer layers) in each region. Draftsman allows for this by displaying the appropriate outer layer for each region – say, the Top Layer for the Rigid region and Mid-Layer 2 for the Flex region.
• SMD and Through-Hole – check these options for their respective pads shapes to be rendered in the Assembly View. Select their associated color buttons to specify the pad display color.
• Mask and Paste checkboxes – check these options to enable the overlay of the board solder Mask/Paste layers associated with the current View Side (Top or Bottom), rendered in the color and transparency set via their associated color buttons.
• Components – click to open the Component Display Properties dialog, where the display configuration for all components is available.

Component Display Properties

The settings in this section affect all components on the Assembly View unless a specific component is selected in the design space, where the settings will apply to the selected component. The available property fields are equivalent to those available in the Component Display Properties dialog (when its Show option is set to Components).

• Component – identifies the currently selected component (Designator and Name), or indicates All components when the overall Assembly View is selected.
• Component Body – enable the check box to display component bodies in the Assembly View, and use the drop-down menu to select the data source used for rendering the component graphic. The range of options match those available under the Geometry tab of the Component Display Properties dialog. The associated button is used to specify the component outline color through the color selector pop-up window.
• Designator - sets the Designator parameter position relative to the component graphic. Use the drop-down menu to choose from a range of positions (which match those available in the Component Display Properties dialog). Toggle the checkbox to enable/disable the designator's visibility. The Manual option is automatically selected if the component's Designator is manually moved (dragged and dropped to a new location).
• Comment - enable the check box to display comments in the Assembly View and use the drop-down menu to select the data source used for rendering the comment.
• Reference Marker – enable the component reference marker graphic by selecting Inside contour from the drop-down menu. The Reference Marker can also be specified in the Component Display Properties dialog. 
• Hatching Pattern – displays and sets the component graphic fill pattern and color, which is used to render the component's profile when displayed in a board Section View. Select the associated button to access the fill options.
  • Pattern – the graphic pattern for the component profile fill. Select Solid fill or an ANSI pattern from the drop-down menu, and use the associated color buttons () to specify colors for the fill and/or hatch pattern. Select a no-fill preset or an opacity level of 0% to set the color as transparent.
  • Scale – the relative line spacing of the applied ANSI hatch pattern.
  • Rotation – the angle of the ANSI hatching lines, where a value of 0 is equivalent to 45°.
  • Hatch Thickness – the line weight of the ANSI pattern lines.
• Designator Font Size – set the font size used for the selected component's designator. This field becomes available when the Use Document Font option in the panel's Style section is unchecked – note the font size is automatically scaled if the component designator positioning is set to Center/Fit (the default).
  • Apply changes to all instances of same BOM item – check this option to apply a change in the designator Location and Font size to all board components of the same type (those that share the same BOM entry). This is equivalent to locating and changing the properties of that component's BOM entry in the Component Display Properties dialog.
    ► Apply to all instances example

Layers Tab

The panel's Layers tab provides a tabular listing of the mechanical layers available in the board design, along with their visibility and color settings.

• Layer visibility – enable a layer's visibility setting () to allow its content to be rendered as an overlay on the selected Assembly View.
• Layer color – select a layer's button to change its overlay color on the Assembly View using the color selector drop-down, which offers standard color shades plus definable RGB levels.
• Move Up/Down buttons – use the buttons to change the listed position of the selected layer and, therefore, its draw order relative to other layers. The topmost enabled layer in the list is rendered last, on top of the next enabled layer that is lower in the list, and so on – the list order represents the draw order.
  Layers enabled in the Layers tab have a higher draw priority than those enabled in the panel's Show additional data section under the General tab.
