Part V: Creating Drawings



  1. From the window with the open part, click the Make Drawing from Part button
    from the toolbar. The drawing becomes populated with three standard views and an iso-
    metric view, as shown in Figure 21.31.

Using a template with Pre-defined Views


  1. In the drawing document, select the display of the Origins. This will help you to align
    a section view. You can display Origins through the menus by choosing View ➪ Origin.

  2. Click the Section View tool on the Drawings toolbar. This activates the Line sketch tool.

  3. In the Top view (in the upper-left section of the drawing), draw a vertical line that
    picks up the inference from the Origin. You may have to run the cursor over the
    Origin to activate the inference lines. Make sure that the line goes all the way through the
    model geometry in the view, as shown in Figure 21.32. When you finish the line, the sec-
    tion view is ready to be placed. Place it to the right of the parent view.
