Creating a Production Drawing
Creating More Views
You can easily create top, side, and isometric views directly from the front view.
1. On the Panel bar, click the Projected View
tool.
2. Select the front view you just created, and
then click to the right to define the location of
the side view.
A rectangular preview of the view is displayed.
3. Move the cursor below the front view and click
to define the location for the top view.
4. Move the cursor to the lower right (as shown
in the image), and click again to define the
location for an isometric view.
5. To finalize these drawing views, right-click and then choose Create.
Your drawing should now show four different drawing views similar to the image shown above.
Adding a Section View
You can also easily create section views.
1. On the Panel bar, click the Section View tool.
2. To identify the parent view, select the top view (the
view in the lower-left corner).
3. To identify the position of the vertical section line, click
once above and once below the top view.
Tip: When sketching the line, ensure the vertical
constraint | is displayed next to the line before you
click the second point of the line.
4. To finish defining the vertical section line, right-click in the graphics window and choose Continue.
5. To place the section view, click the location between the top view and the isometric view.
You may notice that the section does not go through the center of the top view. You can easily correct this by
dragging the section line left or right. The section view automatically updates after you adjust the location of
the section line.
