Main view

 

 

 

The Main view command allows a set which has been previously defined to be projected fast with the command Set.

 

Creation stages:

 

Select the command View > Main view... from the drop-down menu.

 

  1. Select the set to project.

  2. Position the view.

 

Main view:

 

 

Select the set here. If no set has been defined previously, you will be asked this on launching the command. It is also possible to define a new set by clicking the "+", The document to project must be opened.

 

 

  • The cameras proposed during creation of the projection correspond to the 3D file cameras. The "Associative" cell therefore allows the associativity of the cameras to be retained between documents. Example: if the definition parameters of a camera are modified in the 3D document and the latter is used in associative mode in the draft, the orientation of the 2D view will then be updated.

 

 

A conical view has some limitations. It can only be cropped or used by a detail view (Cross section view, interrupted view, ...) are not allowed. Also, it is not possible to dimension it.

 

 

 

  • Definition occurrence

 

This option allows to choose the cameras defined in the source document of the occurrence. It is useful when you want to make the drafting of one part only.

 

Front camera in the assembly.

Front camera in the occurrence of families.

 

 Result in the drafting document :


  • If the option is unchecked (default): the part is displayed using the front camera of assembly.

 

  • If the option is checked: the part is displayed using the front camera defined in the generic document of the family instance.

 

 

 

  • The face view is used by default. You can specify another orientation in this field.

 

 

Select the view style to use here: normal view style (default style) or a customized view style.

 

The description of the Scale , Title, Lines, Points, Render mode, Threading, Axes, Hatching and Detailing option is available here.

 

 

    • Coordinates : The grid setting allows to sleek the detailing elements to position. The coordinates can be cartesian (following X and Y) or polar (radial and angular steps). Enter values

    • Magnetization: The magnetization is a hook factor regarding the entered step. If the step is 10mm and the magnetization is 2, detailing elements and dimensions of the view can be moved every 5 mm. If the step is 10mm and the magnetization is 10, detailing elements and dimensions of the view can be moved every mm.

 

 

This option allows you to automatically remove line corresponding to the small geometries (that represents few pixels only) in order to save time during the projection.

It allows to remove parts of an assembly but also small geometries created by an operation.

    • Inherited from style: The setting is defined in the view style among the value described below.

    • None: No removal of small geometries.

    • Model size: Removal of small geometries which size of the enclosing box is lower than the size defined in the Value field.

    • Paper size: Removal of small geometries which size of the enclosing box in the drafting document is lower than the size defined in the Value field.

    • Global percentage: The computing of the percentage of the geometry enclosing box compared to the enclosing box of all the shapes. Then, the geometries which size are lower than the size defined in the Value field are removed.

    • Shape percentage:The computing of the percentage of the geometry enclosing box compared to the enclosing box of its shape. Then, the geometries which size are lower than the size defined in the Value field are removed.

  1.  

 

Allows you to rotate the view this the entered angle.

 

 

This option allows to calculate the dimensions of the view via Parasolid, regardless of the projection mode (fast or exact). This automatically provides exact dimensions that do not depend on the model document faceting.

By default, this option is cleared because it can cause software performance issues.

 

 

    • Automatic: the view reference point is created automatically.

    • Manual: The view reference point is defined manually by selecting a point in the 3d document.

    • Definition occurrence: In the case of an assembly with instance families, this option allows to recovered the reference frame in the occurrence of instance families.

 

 

  • On creation / editing of a main view, you have the possibility of modifying its orientation using the keypad proposed by default in the center of the view. You can change this hooking point by selecting the keypad then sliding it onto another hooking point (points proposed in red). It is also possible to change the view's orientation by dragging with the middle button of the mouse Snap camera).

  • After validation of the main view, the creation of an auxiliary view is automatically proposed.

  • If no set has been defined previously, you will be asked this on launching the command.
