MODEL VIEW DISPLAY
MODEL VIEW DISPLAY
(OP)
We are using 7.5, TC integration with the master model approach. Occationally when switching from model to drawing, I end up in an odd in between space (between modeling and drafting). One way to get there is from drafting, click view => display sheet. Another way to get there is from modeling click start => drafting.
Are both of these two places the same? What are they intended for?

RE: MODEL VIEW DISPLAY
It's not really intended for anything special (not anymore anyway), just that there IS an altogether normal situation where you can be in the Drafting module but WITHOUT having a Drawing displayed. Granted, it's not all that useful, but it's sort of leftover from a time when while in Drafting, there was a need to access some functionality while NOT displaying a Drawing. Over time, this has become less of an issue and there are even proposals being considered where this sort of module 'limbo' will no longer be something that anyone should encounter.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
RE: MODEL VIEW DISPLAY
This has always seemed strange to me, given that arrangements etc in assembly models are available to the drawing through the master model approach, but I'm sure there's a reason for it.
Anyway, just a bit of extra info for your original question.
