Accesses the standard Autodesk Inventor Drawing
Manager command within the nailboard environment
for placement of connectors.
Base View
Inserts a table onto the nailboard drawing. Not avail-
able when in nailboard sketch.

The Nailboard Browser
The Cable and Harness and Model browsers in the nailboard environment
contain the same items, except for the nailboard sketch, which exists only in
the model browser.
Creating a Nailboard
By default, when you create a nailboard drawing:
■ The nailboard view (or draft view) is created and placed in the nailboard
sketch.
■ The harness is placed in the center of the drawing.
■ The wires, cables, segments, and ribbon cables are drawn with their original
display color.
■ The title block and border are placed on the nailboard based on the selected
template.
■ Splices are represented with a unique symbol and color.
■ Wire and cable wire stubs are equally distributed (fanned out) in a clockwise
direction about the segment endpoint at a 90 degree angle.
■ No automatic scaling is done, which means that the harness objects are
placed on the drawing even if they exceed the border size. It causes the
nailboard to be a true one-to-one harness drawing.
■ Looms and labels are not shown.
NOTE If needed, use the standard Autodesk Inventor Edit command on the draft
view to scale the nailboard view.
