7.11.7. [ELEMENT_derivation] for one single derivation

The "Derivation" element represents a single 2D derivation.

Valid derivations are the standard derivations (top, bottom, front, etc., and isometric).

The "Derivation" element is embedded into a box element (otherwise it wouldn't be positionable).

The "Derivation" element is declared with "ELEMENT_" in the dw file followed by a unique identification for the element.

Example:

[ELEMENT_derivation1]

The display in the dialog box Edit element is grayed out (inactive) under Name.

The following attributes are mandatory:

Example: "Derivation" can be used in order to place a single ISO view.

[ELEMENT_iso_view] 
type=derivation
parent=box2 
view=iso

Optionally, with the help of a text element a title or a ratio information can be added. Details on the text element are found under Section 7.11.8, “[ELEMENT_text] Text ”.

Example: Corresponding keys in dw file

title=isotitle
ratio_title=isotitleratio
title_show=true
ratio_title_show=true
use_ratio=false
