Creating Views

This task will show you how to create views. If the sheet is active, the first view you create is by default a front view.
1. Click the New View icon I_DrwViewP2.gif (217 bytes).

2. Click the Drawing window.

A blue axis displays in a red frame. The front view created displays in the specification tree.

You can now create 2D geometry in this view.

 
3. Click the New View icon I_DrwViewP2.gif (217 bytes) again and select a projection direction to create more views.

The views created are projection views as they are linked to the front view.

From an active front view, you can create:

a top view
a bottom view
a left view
a right view

If you need to switch to the Third angle projection method, specify it via the Sheet Properties option.
4. Activate one of the projection views by double-clicking it. For example, double-click the contour of a bottom view.

5. Click the New View icon I_DrwViewP2.gif (217 bytes) for creating the rear view.

The following table shows the possibilities of view creation according to the active view.
