Auxiliary Views
With Autodesk Inventor, you can create and place a full auxiliary view of a
selected view. The auxiliary view is projected from and aligned with a selected
edge or line in the base view. The selected edge or line in the base view defines
the projection direction.
Auxiliary views are labeled, and display a projection line to the base view.
Use the Auxiliary View tool to create views aligned to non orthogonal geometry
in a selected view. When you select the base view, the Auxiliary View dialog
box is displayed. You can set the view Label, Scale, and Display options.
NOTE To create a partial auxiliary view, select the objects to remove from the
auxiliary view, right-click, and then set Visibility off. Or, use the Section View tool
to place a projection line that excludes the geometry you do not want in the view.
An auxiliary view is required to document the features on the inclined face.
