This task shows you how to generate a drawing view, using
various
representation options. |
|
The document contains the harness obtained in
Flattening the Harness.
Make sure the Drafting -> View options are
set as follows:
Open the Tools -> Options... menu, then Mechanical
Design: |
|
In the Geometry generation / Dress-up frame, check
the following options:
-
Project 3D wireframe
-
Project 3D points
|
|
For more information, refer to the
View tab documentation. |
|
|
-
Open the Tools -> Options... menu, then in the
Equipment & Systems category, choose the Electrical 3D
Design item to
define a graphic replacement catalog.
To do so: |
-
Click Add
-
Browse to the catalog.
-
Click OK to validate.
|
A mapping will be done between the connector external
reference (or the part number if the external reference is not
valuated) and the name of the 2D detail.
-
If an equivalence is found, the corresponding 2D detail will
replace the connector in the drawing.
-
If not, the 3D projection will be displayed.
|
-
In the Drawing tab, select:
- the double line for bundle segment
representation
- the 2D detail option for device graphical
representation
|
|
-
Click OK to validate.
-
Perform the mapping:
-
Right-click a connector to display the properties,
-
Click More... to display the
Electrical tab.
-
Enter a value in the External Reference
field.
-
Click OK to validate.
Once this is done, you will generate the drawing.
|
-
Open a new drawing document.
-
Click Front View
and select a face of the connector as Plane.
The drawing document updates according to this choice: |
|
The connectors have been replaced with the chosen 2D detail and
bundle segments are displayed with a double line. |
|
|
Note that the External Reference
attribute does not exist for the support and you need to create it.
To do so:
-
Right-click the
support to display the Properties.
-
At the bottom of
the Product tab, click Define other properties...
The dialog box displays: |
|
-
Select
String in the combo and click New Parameter of type.
-
Edit the name:
External Reference
This property is added to the support. |
|
-
You can now enter
a value to map a catalog 2D detail.
