Modify View and Section Display

Module(s): Associative Views

As opposed to the Shell module, special tools are not required for editing associative views and sections.

All associative views and sections are created with a border that does not appear in printouts. To edit the view itself (not the elements of the view!), select a tool on the Edit toolbar (e.g. move, rotate, delete, ...) and click the border of the view. Alternatively, click the relevant edit tool on the shortcut menu of the view border.

Note: When you select the border of the view, you can still create a view or a section based on an existing view or section without having to select all elements.

Special feature relevant to selecting section objects

Sections objects cannot be edited using the approach described above. When you select the section object without the border in a section and the action you perform (e.g. Copy and Mirror, Copy, ...) produces a new section object or deletes the existing one, the view itself is copied or deleted (not the section object!).

Note: You cannot delete section objects in the Shell module.
