Drawing View toolbar to create a base view and set the options on the Drawing
View dialog box. Use the base view to create a projected, auxiliary, overlay,
section, and detail views.
You can also create an isometric view using the projected view tool. When
placing a projected view, move the preview to change the orientation of the
projected view to an isometric view.
The following types of drawing views are available:
Projects from the base view to a desired location. The
orientation of the projected view determines the rela-
projected view
tionship of the projected view to the base view. Use
this tool to create an isometric view.
Projects from an edge or line in a base view. The result-
ing view is aligned with its base view.
auxiliary view
Creates a full, half, offset, or aligned section view from
a base, projected, auxiliary, detail, or broken view.
section view
Creates a view projection line for an auxiliary or partial
view. A section view is aligned with its parent view.
Creates and places a detailed drawing view of a speci-
fied portion of a base, projected, auxiliary, break-out,
detail view
or broken view. The view is created without an align-
ment to the base view.
Overlays use positional representations to show an as-
sembly in multiple positions in a single view. Each
overlay view
overlay can reference a design view representation in-
dependent of the parent view.
Creates a blank view with the sketch environment ac-
tivated for drafting. You can import AutoCAD
®
data
draft view
into a draft view, and you can copy a draft view and
paste it into the same or another drawing.
Use the following operations to change drawing views:
Create a break in a view if the component view exceeds
the length of the drawing, or contains large areas of
nondescript geometry, like the center portion of a shaft.
break
Removes a defined area of material to expose obscured
parts or features in an existing drawing view. The par-
break out
ent view must be associated to a sketch that contains
the profile defining the break out boundary.
