.You can display the active clearance plane as a translucent
image in the Graphic Display window. To do this, from the Graphic Items
toolbar, select the Toggle Clearance
Plane Items icon .
By default, the active clearance planes are displayed as white translucent planes; while all non-active clearance planes are displayed as white polylines.
Sample Clearance Plane Displayed as a Translucent Image
PC-DMIS displays up to one clearance plane along each axis, for a maximum of three clearance planes at a time (one along Z, one along Y, and one along X). If you have more than one clearance plane defined along the same axis and it isn't the currently displayed clearance plane, it displays the most recently displayed clearance plane used on that axis.
Sample Active and Non-Active Clearance Planes
You can further control the display of both the active and non-active clearance planes by modifying these registry entries in the OpenGLSettingsClearancePlanes section in the PC-DMIS Settings Editor:
ActiveSymbol - Displays the active clearance plane as either a polyline or transparent plane (0=Polyline; 1=Transparent Plane; the default is 1).
ActiveColor - Determines the color of the active clearance plane.
ActiveLineWidth - Determines the line width of the active clearance plane when drawn as a polyline.
ActivePercentTransparency - Determines the amount of transparency for the active clearance plane.
Symbol - Displays the non-active clearance planes as either polylines or transparent planes (0=Polyline; 1=Transparent Plane; the default is 1).
Color - Determines the color of the non-active clearance planes.
LineWidth - Determines the line width of the non-active clearance planes when drawn as a polyline.
PercentTransparency - Determines the amount of transparency for the non-active clearance planes.
