Visible fence in the parent view of a detail view

Greetings everyone.

 

I create a detail view of a portion of an other view in my drawing but the problem is that I cannot show the fence that circulates the portion of the original view. I searched quite a lot in the API but I couldn't find a way of displaying the fence. Is there a way of doing this?

 

A workaround could be to create a circular arc in the exact place with the same radius as the fence but I'd rather show the fence itself.

 

Thank you in advance.

Hi ApostolosJK,

 

I think this is what you are looking for:

 

DetailDrawingView.DisplayDefinitionInBase Property

Parent Object: DetailDrawingView

Description

Property that gets and sets whether to display detail circles, section lines and the associated text in the base view. The property returns False and cannot be set where not applicable.

Syntax

DetailDrawingView.DisplayDefinitionInBase() As Boolean

 

 

Best regards

Well, thank you!

 

Mysteriously I had already been using that property but I was re-setting it to false further down to my code.....
