Add a New Projection to a Drawing

General

  • You can add different projections of the model to a drawing, such as from the front, top, right, left, back and bottom, as well as isometric projections, i.e. any projection in the viewing direction or a flattening projection of a sheet metal part.
  • Section and detail view projections are added using the projections of the model drawing.
  • You can add projections from the right, left, top or bottom relative to an existing projection.
  • You can later edit the properties of the projection you added, e.g. scale, drawing method, viewing direction, etc. when you select the projection and the context-sensitive function Properties.
