Add View Pos dialog

Opens from Detail Center > Views tab, when either:

the (Create Manual Detail ) tool icon is selected, or
theAdditional Views menu is selected from the right click in the Detail Views list area.

Note: The dialog updates when you can change your part selection in the views list of the Detail Center.

Setting	Description
Detail Style	The detail style that has to be used for a manual detail. When you select the option 'From 3D-Component Part', the style assigned in the component part list will be used. If the component part doesn’t have a detail style, or if it is a view with freely selectable parts from the model, the default style will be used instead. It this style has not been defined, a manual detail cannot be created. By clicking on the small button on the right side of this field, you can edit the selected detail style. Note: Only those detail styles are displayed which have been classified for use in manual details.
Given Views	Input Field– Here, you can change the names for free views. List– The available views, which can be added to the part, are displayed here. Select the desired view by clicking on it in the list. Already existing views are highlighted and cannot be selected.
Selection	Displays the currently selected detail style, which is used for a manual detail.
Pick View	Defines the view level for free views by picking in the model.
Add to Detail	Adds the selected view to the selected part.
Manual Detail	Creates a manual detail of the selected part or of any part selection from the model.
Pick on plane only	When checked, the points picked during definition of a view plane are projected onto the current view plane.

Add View

If you want to add one of the six basic views, just select the corresponding view from the list and click the Add button.

To add a free view, just select one of the free views 'View A to View F' from the list. The input field above can be used to change the name to get a more suitable one.

Then, click on the Pick View button to specify the UCS (origin, X- and Y-axis) to pick any view or use the <ESC> key to import the current view on screen. Finally, click the Add to Detail button.

Note: The added views are treated during detailing just like directly created views and automatically further processed.

Manual Detail from the Model

Select the first entry 'Detail Views’ in the views list of the Detail Center to create a manual detail with any part selection from the model.

Now, click on the Manual Detail button and enter a name for the detail in the then opening input field. Then, pick any view by specifying the UCS (origin, X- and Y-axis) or use the <ESC> key to import the current view on screen.

After that, you are prompted to select the parts, which are to be processed for this manual detail.

A window similar to the preview opens, which displays the parts as 3D objects for now. You can now dimension manually, attach position flags or any 2D-lines and texts. Manipulations of these 3D-parts are possible as well since they are only copies from the model.

Then you click on the modified Create 2D button, and the 2D-projection calculation for the 3D-parts is carried out. Of course, you can continue to work in this window, but you will not have the intelligent properties of the components available.

Once you have finished your additions, save the window without renaming it. If you do rename it, the unique allocation for the Detail Center is no longer active.

Manual Detail from Components

You can also create a manual detail from construction groups or single parts without having to select the parts specifically in the model.

Just select the entry of the desired part in the views list. The rest is the same as for the manual detail from the model apart from parts selection.
