Displaying boundary conditions

The boundary conditions display options let you control the symbols used to graphically indicate the locations of loads and constraints in the graphics window. You can choose whether to display the boundary conditions with a graphics symbol, text symbol, or both. You can also modify the color or line weight, scale the size of the symbols, or change the distribution of the symbols on a face.

Use the Boundary Condition Display dialog box to modify the display options for individual boundary conditions. Use the Boundary Conditions options in the Customer Defaults dialog box to set the default display options.
