Creating a Quick Detail View / Quick Detail View Profile
![](../icons_C2/common/atarget.gif) |
This task will show you how to quickly create a
detail view using either a circle as callout or a sketched profile. In this particular case, we create a quick detail
view using a sketched profile as we create this detail view from an oblong
part. Note that for creating a detail view using a circle, the dialog is
exactly the same.
A detail view is a partial generated view that shows only what
is necessary in the clear description of the object. Note that,
the Quick Detail view
command computes the view directly from the 2D projection whereas the Detail view
command uses a Boolean operator from the 3D. The representation is therefore different.

![](_themes/v5r5/ul1.gif) | The default scale is 2 (twice the scale of the active view). You can modify
this scale. For this, right-click the detail view and select the
Properties option from the contextual menu, View tab. Enter the desired
Parameters Scale and
then click OK in this
Properties dialog box. |
![](_themes/v5r5/ul1.gif) | You can insert
Bill of Material information into the active view. |
|
|
![](_themes/v5r5/ul1.gif) | You can assign a line type to the view to be generated. For this, go
to Tools -> Options -> Drafting (Generation tab), click the linetype switch button and select the
desired option from the Linetype
