View Creation  

The Generative Drafting workbench provides a simple method to create views on a predefined sheet.

In this chapter, most of the tasks illustrate how to create views from parts. These views can also be created from assemblies (exploded or not). Views created from assemblies are illustrated only whenever specific points need to be mentioned.

	Before you begin: You should be familiar with important concepts.
	About the view generation modes: Learn in detail about each view generation mode.
	Create a front view: Use a reference plane on the 3D part to create a front view. If needed, use the manipulator to assign the right position to the view.
	Create an advanced front view: Create advanced front views to configure elements such as the view name, view scale, etc. Whenever possible, a pertinent projection plane is automatically offered.
	Create projection views: Use the green frame to automatically generate the projection views as desired.
	Create an unfolded view: Create an unfolded view from a Sheet Metal part.
	Create a view from 3D: Generate a view and the associated annotations from the 3D.
	Create an auxiliary view: Define a plane that will be used to generate the auxiliary view.
	Create an offset section view: Use a cutting profile to define and position the offset section view.
	Create an offset section cut: Use a cutting profile to define and position the offset section cut.
	Create a section view (Planar Surface): Use a cutting profile to define and position the offset section view.
	Create a section cut (Planar Surface): Use a cutting profile to define and position the offset section view.
	Create an aligned section view: Use a cutting profile to define and position the aligned section view.
	Create an aligned section cut: Use a cutting profile to define and position the aligned section cut.
	Create a section view with profile defined in 3D: Create a section view using a 3D profile as cutting plane.
	Create a section cut with profile defined in 3D: Create a section cut using a 3D profile as cutting plane.
	Create a detail view: Use a callout to create a detail view via a boolean operator from the 3D.
	Create a detail view profile: Use a polygon to create a detail view via a boolean operator from the 3D.
	Create a quick detail view: Use a callout to create a detail view by computing the view directly from 2D projection.
	Create a quick detail view profile: Use a polygon to create a detail view by computing the view directly from 2D projection.
	Create a clipping view: Use a callout to create a clipping view via a boolean operator from the 3D.
	Create a clipping view profile: Use a callout to create a clipping view by computing the view directly from 2D projection.
	Create a quick clipping view: Create a quick clipping view with a circle as callout.
	Create a quick clipping view profile: Create a quick clipping view with a sketched profile as callout.
	Create an isometric view: Create an isometric view using a 3D part.
	Generate an exploded view: Create an isometric view, and then, projected views from an assembly previously exploded via Digital Mock-up workbench (DMU Navigator).
	Create a broken view: Create a broken view from an active and up to date generative view using two profiles corresponding to the part to be broken from the view extremities.
	Create a breakout view: Remove locally material from a left generated view, in order to visualize the remaining visible internal part.
	Add a 3D clipping: Clip a view by selecting in the 3D object the useful part.
	Create views via the wizard: Create views using a wizard by defining options in the Pre-Defined Configurations dialog box.
	Create views via the wizard: Automatically create front, bottom and right views using a wizard.
	Create views via the wizard: Automatically create front, left and top views using a wizard.
	Create views via the wizard: Automatically create all the views using a wizard.
	Canceling the Creation/Update of a Multi-View: Stop the creation/update of a multi-view when the command is in progress.
