Draw settings - HiStructClient/femcad-doc GitHub Wiki

There is a dedicated panel in FemCad called "View" that manages the draw setting of the scene. This means one can disable/enable drawing of some particular blocks (e.g. vertexes, solids, linear tractions, ...), change colours, define line styles and adapt various other setting.

Any setting can be saved in *.fcsdrs file and manually overwritten in any text editor. The content of *.fcsdrs file looks like follows:

Use of FCSDRS files

  1. Fcsdrs file is determining the view of any picture in reports. There is a specification of particular *.fcsdrs file in the ImageRenderer

Note: This *.fcsdrs file is used when there is no specific draw setting file for the Fcm itself. In case there is/are draw setting file/s already in use for the particular gblock (see below) the one mentioned above is not important (in other words - gblock's own fcsdrs is the determining one, if defined).

  1. Fcsdrs file can also define view of any gblock within one model, as there is optional parameter in gblock definition

Note: when there is no fcsdrs file defined the global one is used

Note: it is suggested to type absolute path to the file to avoid errors (gblock {gb1} ... ... fcsdrs (Fcm.GetFileNamePath("file.fcsdrs")) parameters ...
