Creating an Auxiliary View

Many objects are of such shape that their principal faces cannot always be assumed parallel to the regular planes of projection. Creating an auxiliary view allows showing the true shapes by assuming a direction of sight perpendicular to planes that are perpendicular of the curves. This auxiliary view, together with the top view, completely describes the object.

Grid:
De-activate the Grid icon from the Tools toolbar (bottom right).

View names and scaling factors:
Go to Tools->Options ->Mechanical Design -> Drafting option (Layout tab) and check the View name and Scaling factor options.

Before You Begin:
Make sure the right view is active (use double-clicking).

Sketch the representation of the plane. In this case, click an edge on the right view. 

You could also click a point and then an edge.

Both the 3D surface and the sketched plane are associative.

The reference plane is automatically positioned according to the selected edge.

Before clicking, as you move the cursor within a zone perpendicular to the plane, a preview of the auxiliary view to be created simultaneously appears. This view will be automatically positioned accordingly. This is also true when creating a section view or a section cut.

You can also move the cursor outside the zone perpendicular to the plane and position the view where you want.

Note that the callout can be inverted or graphically modified. 

1. Right-click the frame of the view not to be aligned.

2. Select the Do not align view option from the displayed contextual menu.

3. Drag the view to the desired location.
