Summary

After using SOLVIEW, visible and hidden lines representing the silhouette

and edges of solids in the viewport are created and then projected to a plane

perpendicular to the viewing direction.

SOLDRAW can only be used in viewports that have been created with

SOLVIEW

(page 1009).

Visible and hidden lines representing the silhouette and edges of solids in the

viewport are created and then projected to a plane perpendicular to the viewing

direction. Silhouettes and edges are generated for all solids and portions of

solids behind the cutting plane. For sectional views, cross-hatching is created

using the current values of the

HPNAME (page 1365), HPSCALE (page 1367), and

HPANG (page 1357) system variables.

Any existing profiles and sections in the selected viewport are deleted, and

new ones are generated. All layers, except those required to display the profile

or section, are frozen in each viewport.

WARNING Do not place permanent drawing information on the view name-VIS,

view name-HID, and view name-HAT layers. The information stored on these layers

is deleted and updated when SOLDRAW is run.

To undo a viewport drawn by SOLDRAW, you must use the Back option of

UNDO (page 1125).
