View Creation

The Generative Drafting workbench provides a simple method to create views on a predefined sheet.

 

In this chapter, most of the tasks illustrate how to create views from parts. These views can also be created from assemblies (exploded or not). We voluntarily decided to illustrate these views only created from assemblies whenever specific points needed to be mentioned.
 

Note that threads are also generated on the condition they are defined on 3D holes. 

 

Before you Begin
You should be familiar with important concepts.

Create a front view
Use a reference plane on the 3D part to create a front view. If needed, use the manipulator to assign the right position to the view.

Create projection views
Use the green frame to automatically generate the projection views as desired.

Create an FD&T view
Generate a view and the associated annotations from the 3D.

Create an auxiliary view
Define a plane that will be used to generate the auxiliary view.

Create a section view (Planar Surface)
Use a cutting profile to define and position the offset section view.
I_DrwSectionCutViewP2.gif (305 bytes)
Create a section cut (Planar Surface)
Use a cutting profile to define and position the offset section view.
I_DrwSectionAlignedViewP2.gif (301 bytes)
Create an aligned section view
Use a cutting profile to define and position the aligned section view.
I_DrwSectionCutAlignedViewP2.gif (307 bytes)
Create an aligned section cut
Use a cutting profile to define and position the aligned section cut.
Create a section view with profile defined in 3D
Create a section view using a 3D profile as cutting plane.
Create a section cut with profile defined in 3D
Create a section cut using a 3D profile as cutting plane.

Create a detail view
Use a callout to create a detail view via a boolean operator from the 3D.
I_DrwDetailProfileP2.gif (289 bytes)
Create a detail view profile
Use a polygon to create a detail view via a boolean operator from the 3D.
I_DrwQuickDetailViewP2.gif (254 bytes)
Create a quick detail view
Use a callout to create a detail view by computing the view directly from 2D projection.
I_DrwQuickDetailProfileP2.gif (272 bytes)
Create a quick detail view profile
Use a polygon to create a detail view by computing the view directly from 2D projection.
I_DrwClippingViewP2.gif (260 bytes)
Create a clipping view
Create a clipping view with a circle as callout.
I_DrwClippingProfileP2.gif (266 bytes)
Create a clipping view profile

Generate an exploded view
Create an isometric view, and then, projected views from an assembly previously exploded via Digital Mock-up workbench (DMU Navigator).
Create a broken view
Create a broken view from an active and up to date generative view using two profiles corresponding to the part to be broken from the view extremities.
Create a breakout view
Remove locally material from an left generated view, in order to visualize the remaining visible internal part.
