Creating and Modifying Views from a .Model

This task will show you how to create and modify views from a .model document on the condition this model contains Exact Solids, Skins or Faces in the master workspace.
Open pm6-7b-1e_gun_body_draw.model. This model contains an Exact Solid in the master workspace. Tile the windows vertically to see your drawing sheet and your model at the same time.

  1. Create a front view from the .model document.

  2. Create projection views.

    The views are generated.
  • The only modifications you can perform on views generated from .model documents are dress-up modifications.
  • In certain cases, dress-up modifications applied to .model documents are not associative.
  • When creating views from .model documents, you can only select a V4 Face element (*FAC) if it lies on a V4 plane. You cannot select a V4 Face element which lies on a V4 surface (even if this surface is planar).
  • Dimensions and annotations applied to Ditto elements from .model documents are:
    • associative in projection views.
    • non-associative in section, detail and breakout views.
3D elements are handled differently depending on the view mode you are generating:

Exact mode

  • All CATPart elements are supported.
  • Exact Solid, Faces and Skin elements from .model documents are supported, as well as space ditto (with similar content of associated detail).

CGR, Approximate and raster mode

  • All CATPart elements except wireframe and 3D points are supported.
  • All elements from .model documents are supported.
  • External MultiCAD components are supported.
