Decal command bar
- Plane step
-
Selects the plane or planar face to place the image used to create the decal. You can then project the image onto the face(s) to apply the decal.
- Create-From options
-
Sets the method of defining the profile plane.
-
Coincident Plane—Specifies that you want to define a plane that is coincident to an existing reference plane or a planar face on the part. When you set this option, a default X-axis and direction is applied to the new reference plane. You can use keyboard accelerators to define a different X-axis and direction for the new reference plane.
-
Parallel Plane—Specifies that you want to define a plane that is parallel to an existing reference plane or a planar face on the part. When you set this option, you can specify the parallel offset distance. When you set this option, a default X-axis and direction is applied to the new reference plane. You can use keyboard accelerators to define a different X-axis and direction for the new reference plane.
-
Angled Plane—Specifies that you want to define a plane that is at an angle to an existing reference plane or planar face on the part. When you set this option, you can specify the angle value you want.
-
Perpendicular Plane—Specifies that you want to define a plane that is perpendicular to an existing reference plane or planar face on the part.
-
Coincident Plane By Axis—Specifies that you want to define a plane that is coincident to an existing reference plane or a planar face on the part. When you set this option, you define the X-axis and direction for the new reference plane using a linear edge, a planar face, or another reference plane.
-
Plane Normal to Curve—Specifies that you want to define a plane that is perpendicular to a curve you select.
-
Plane By 3 Points—Specifies that you want to define a plane by three keypoints you select.
-
Tangent Plane—Specifies that you want to define a plane that is tangent to a curved face on the part. You can select a cylinder, cone, sphere, torus, or b-spline surface. When you set this option, you can also specify the angular rotation value. When you set this option, a default X-axis and direction is applied to the new reference plane. You can use keyboard accelerators to define a different X-axis and direction for the new reference plane.
-
Feature's Plane—Specifies that you want to define a plane that is coincident to a reference plane used to define an earlier feature. You can select the feature you want using Feature PathFinder or in the graphic window. This option is not available when constructing the base feature.
-
- Image step
-
Selects and places the image to use to create the decal.
- Face step
-
Selects the face or faces on which you want to place the decal.
- Selection Type
-
Sets the method for element selection.
- Single
-
Specifies the selection method is a single face. You can also select multiple faces with the option set to Single.
Note:You can use Shift+click to remove a face.
- Chain
-
Specifies the selection method is a face chain.
- Feature
-
Specifies that the selection method is a feature.
- Body
-
Specifies that the selection method is a body.
- Cancel/Finish
-
This button changes function as you move through the feature construction process. The Finish button constructs the feature using input provided in the other steps. After you construct the feature, you can edit it by re-selecting the appropriate step on the command bar. The Cancel button discards any input and exits the command.
- Accept

-
Accepts the current input.
- Deselect

-
Deselects the current input.
- Name
-
Displays the feature name. Feature names are assigned automatically. You can edit the name by typing a new name in the box on the command bar or by selecting the feature and using the Rename command on the shortcut menu.
