View Triad Modification through Journal

Hi,

Is it possible to modify (Increase) the size of the View triad for the current session. I basically want to export images to Power point in standard views (ISO, FRONT, LEFT and TOP). I want the direction to be shown in the Images. With default Triad it is too small to see in the Power point.

There is an old trick to make certain screen objects appear larger (point 'splats', constraint symbols, coneheads, etc): go to visualization preferences -> view/screen and use the calibrate command. In the calibrate command, you are supposed to size the onscreen circle to be 2 inches in diameter; instead, crank it up so the circle is larger than 2 inches. This will not affect your model geometry, but all the onscreen text and icons should now appear larger. I've not tested this with the view triad, but I assume it follows the same rules as the other onscreen objects.

Thanks for the reply. I kind of of Know that option in UI. Is it possible to do that inside journal.

Regards,

Joe

A quick look through the API docs didn't turn up anything obvious, but that doesn't mean it can't be done.
