Creating Drawing Views
The first view you create is a base view. In Model mode, you specify the orien-
tation of the view, and then change to Drawing mode to position it on the
page. A title block and drawing border have been placed on the
TITLE_BLK layer.
When you place the base view, hidden lines are removed. Parametric dimen-
sions are shown according to the currently-defined dimension style.
By default, a dimension is shown in one view onlythe first view you create
displays the object that the dimension references. You can specify that para-
metric dimensions be displayed in other views as they are created, or you can
move a dimension, if you prefer to show it on a different view.
When drawing views are created, by default their size is determined by the
size of the data set. However, you can manually grip edit a viewport border if
Parametric Border Sizing is turned off in the Edit Drawing View dialog box.
If you turn Parametric Border Sizing back on, parametric sizing is restored.
First, define a front view as a base view for the drawing. Before you begin this
exercise, select the Drawing tab to change to Drawing mode.
