Primary and Secondary View

Settings permit separate defaults for primary and secondary views of subparts. This allows you e.g. to stop the dimensioning of shapes in cross-section position or to dimension plates by means of the contained drill holes or alternatively by the plate thickness.

SettingDescription
Primary View (1)

At shapes – except for flats – this is the view showing the component part in its longitudinal direction. At plates or flat steel shapes, on the contrary, it is the view, showing the component part in plan view.

Secondary View (2)

At shapes – except for flats – this is the view showing the component part in its cross-section. At plates or flat steel shapes, on the contrary, it is the view, which normally shows the thickness.

Note: Please don’t forget that the differentiation is made via the coordinate system of the component parts. If it differs – for whatever a reason – from standard, you will get different results with regard to quality.
