Set parameters to calculate the 2D outline image

You can set the various parameters Teamcenter uses to calculate the 2D outline (hidden line) image:

Procedure Click the Capture 2D Image button on the viewer toolbar and Teamcenter displays the Image Capture dialog box. In the Image Capture dialog box, click the HLR Prefs button and Teamcenter displays Outline Capture Preferences dialog box. This button is disabled unless the file type is set to Outline. In the Outline Capture Preferences dialog box, set the commands as listed in the following table. Menu command Description Remove Hidden Lines If this command is selected, only the edges that are visible in the front of the model are displayed in the CGM image file. If this command is not selected, all lines are displayed. Preserve Colors If this command is selected, the lines in the CGM image have the same colors as their associated parts. If this command is not selected, the lines are displayed with the default 2D background color and line properties. Line Thickness Enter an integer value between 0 and 5 for the thickness of the outline; the larger the number, the thicker the lines. Include Lines for Rounded Edges Select this command to draw rounded edges. If this command is not selected, the only lines drawn are silhouette lines, horizon lines, and feature lines as defined by the feature angle. Feature Angle Enter a value between 0 and 180. If the angle between the normals of two adjacent surfaces equals or exceeds the specified feature angle, the two surfaces are considered separate features and the edge between them is drawn. If the angle between the normals of two adjacent surfaces is less than the specified feature angle, the two surfaces are considered one feature and the edge between them is not drawn. To draw more edges, decrease the feature angle.
