To show dashes, display the Edge Settings on the Edit tab and select the Dashes checkbox. Globally, you can control the visibility of only the dashes via the Styles panel. To toggle a tag’s visibility, clear the Visible checkbox for the tag in the Tags Panel. When you toggle a tag’s visibility, you toggle the visibility of the edges and their dashes on that tag. Tags were designed to control the visibility of the geometry on a tag. The dash pattern that illustrates how the door swings is within the door component, and the lines of the 3D door and 2D swing pattern are different. The following figure of a door is an example. With this behavior, a component can contain 3D geometry and a patterned 2D representation on different tags. You can apply a material to an entity within a component and then apply a different material to component. Tip: You might be familiar with the way components inherit dashed lines if you’re familiar with the way components inherit materials. Any geometry on the tag now has dashed lines. Select the dashed line style from the menu that appears.In the Tags panel, click Default in the Dashes column for the tag to which you want to add dashed lines.

To choose a dash pattern for a tag, follow these steps: (Optional) Toggle the visibility by tag to hide geometry or adjust whether all lines are solid or dashed globally for the model in the Styles panel.To move geometry to a tag, select the geometry you want to move and use the Tag drop-down menu in the Entity Info panel to move the selected geometry to the desired tag. Move the geometry that will have dashed lines to the tag you created.Choose from several styles with dashes, dots, or some combination. In the Dashes column of the Tags Panel, select the dash pattern you’d like to apply to the tag.For example, you might name the tag Property Boundary, Demolition Lines, or Underfloor Heating. When you want to assign a dash pattern to a tag, give the tag a name that clarifies what the dash pattern communicates.(See Controlling Visibility with Tags for more information.)
