Add View Pos dialog
Used to add additional views to a part or to create manual details from entire model areas. Since the manual details are actually free views, they too are controlled via this dialog..
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.
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 If you do rename it, the unique allocation for the Detail Center is no longer active.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.
