BricsCAD automatically adds appropriate annotations which you can customize with View Section Styles.Ĭreate and modify View Section Styles in the Drawing Explorer (VIEWSECTIONSTYLE command). Options enable you to specify full, half, offset, or aligned views. Use the Section Views tool (VIEWSECTION) to generate section views from existing views. In the following image, the lower right view is projected from the upper left view. You can use the Projected Views tool (VIEWPROJ command) to project new views from existing views. Regardless of how you generate the drawing views, manually or with presets, you can erase those that you don’t want and add others. T he projection type, first or third angle, controls the layout. If you select Mechanical Views it automatically generates three standard views: Front, Top and Left (first angle projection) or right (third angle projection). If you select Architectural Views, BricsCAD automatically generates Front, Right, Back, Left (elevations) and Top views and 3 section views: two horizontal sections (plans) and 1 vertical section. To automate the process for architectural or mechanical models, you can select a relevant preset from the VIEWBASE options. It’s obvious from the image above that some views and settings are more appropriate for some industries than others. The image on the right has hidden lines removed but it is a different orientation and scale.Īfter placing the base view, you can drag the cursor in different directions to project up to 8 additional views. In the image below, for example, the two views on the left were created at the same scale but the bottom image has hidden lines removed. Various options allow you to control the appearance of the base view. By default, no preset is selected leaving it up to you to generate and place each view individually. It includes an option to select a preset, which controls the number of generated drawing views and their placement in the layout. The Generate Drawing Views tool (VIEWBASE command) creates a base view from selected model entities and inserts it on a layout. However, they automatically generate hidden lines and include properties for you to further control their appearance. Drawing Views aren’t blocks and they can’t be exploded or edited. They differ from the 2D blocks you can generate from Section Planes that I described in my last post. The Drawing View tools enable you to generate 2D drawing views from 3D models. Our BricsCAD journey continues as we explore drawing Views.
