In section views, the hole must either be displayed in its face normal position
or seen as a profile.
You can also annotate holes in isometric views.
Working with Title Blocks
Title block information that you typically enter when you complete a drawing
is obtained from the drawing properties. Right-click the drawing name in the
drawing browser and select iProperties. You enter information in the Properties
dialog box, and the values are displayed in the corresponding locations in the
title block.
The Drawing Properties dialog box has six tabs for entering information:
■ General
■ Summary
■ Project
■ Status
■ Custom
■ Save
While some of the title block information is entered when you start the
drawing, approvals and approval dates are not entered until the drawing is
complete.
Other information displayed in the title block is derived from the operating
system, the drawing, and the sheet.
NOTE The date format is set by the system Regional Settings application, located
in the Control Panel folder.
Working with Dimensions and Annotations
In this exercise, you create drawing views, edit a view, and then add dimensions
and annotations to a drawing of a clamp that is used to hold a work piece in
position during machining operations.
