New Projection

You can add a parallel projection, sheet-metal flattening, isometric, or other projection to a model drawing.

The new projection is created based on the chosen viewing direction of the model from which you have opened the drawing.

  1. Open a drawing of a model.
  2. Select the context-sensitive function Projection.
  3. Select the properties of the new projection in the New Projection dialog box.

Projection Tree of a Drawing

Note:
  • By using the functions on the Projection menu bar, you can already set the model to the desired projection in the 3D working window before selecting the Projection function.
  • You can change the size of a projection in a drawing by selecting the projection and the function Properties. Select an appropriate scale for the projection from the Scale list.
  • If you do not specify a viewing direction or label in the dialog box, and you confirm the data, the model is added to a drawing in the projection in which the model is in the 3D working window.
