Rotate Views
You can rotate views by edge or by angle. Views rotate as rigid bodies, including
any sketches. When a view is rotated, annotations maintain their associativity
to the view and model geometry. Depending upon the drawing standard used,
additional information may be provided in the View label indicating that the
view is rotated out of its normal position.
NOTE When you rotate a view, if a section view cutting plane line is not updated,
you can edit the section line as you would edit a sketch, including constraints.
Move Views
You can move a view by clicking and dragging the red border. You can move
multiple views with a crossing selection window. Specify a crossing selection
window by clicking, dragging your mouse from right to left, and then clicking
again. Views that are fully or partly within its borders are selected. To move
the selected views, click and drag one of the red borders.
Viewing Multiple Positions of Assemblies
Overlay drawing views use positional representations to show an assembly in
multiple positions in a single view. Overlays are available for unbroken base,
projected, and auxiliary views. Each overlay can reference a design view
representation independent of the parent view.
In the drawing browser, overlays are shown as child nodes to the parent view,
displayed as "PosRepName: ViewNumber: ModelName." Right-click an overlay
node to open the model file using the positional representation set by the
overlay.
Add dimensions between overlay views to show the distance or angle a
component has moved from its position in another representation. Drawing
dimensions automatically update if the model position changes.
Some guidelines for using overlay views include:
■ In the assembly, create design view representations that include only
components of interest. In the overlay view, specify such a design view
representation.
