Viewing CAD Nominal Information

The CAD Information dialog box provides detailed information from the imported CAD file. Things such as assembly information (if applicable), number of parts in the assembly, number objects in each of the parts that make up the assembly, surface type and sequence, current level, RGB color, form type, and detailed nominal information for the surface.

The nominal information includes information such as diameter, vector or location. For complex elements such as trimmed surfaces, information about other geometries (base surface, bounding curves) will also be displayed.

To view the specific information about CAD geometry:

  1. Click Show Noms from the Menu Icons 1 toolbar or select the View | Graphics Display Window | CAD Info menu item. The CAD Information dialog box appears.
