Use the same technique to draw the hidden
lines in the side view:
■ Using the line command, track the
endpoint of the corner in the front view as
indicated (do not select this endpoint!).
■ Drag the cursor to the side view until it
intersects with the left vertical line of the
object and click.
■ Drag the cursor to the right side of the
object to draw the line perpendicular to
the right vertical line and click.
■ Press ENTER to complete the line
command.
■ Repeat to create the other horizontal line
using the adjacent corner in the front view.
8.
To refine the hidden hole detail in the front
view:
■ Zoom to this area.
■ Trace the endpoint of the inside corner
(DO NOT click the endpoint).
■ Drag the cursor until it intersects with the
vertical hidden line and click.
■ Drag the line until it is perpendicular with
the vertical hidden line to the right and
click.
■ Zoom in closer to view the hidden line
segments.
■ With the command line blank, select the
vertical lines.
■ Drag the upper endpoints down to
the endpoints or perpendicular to the
horizontal line.
9.
To refine the hidden hole detail in the side
view, you copy lines from the front view and
modify them:
■ Start the Copy command.
■ Window select from the left to right to
select the hole detail in the side view.
■ Press ENTER to complete the selection.
■ Click the intersection of the centerline and
the bottom line in the front view as the
basepoint.
