This task will show you how to create a
new drawing with pre-defined views generated from
a part. |
 |
Open the
GenDrafting_part.CATPart document. Make sure no drawing is already
open. |
 |
-
From the menu bar, select Start > Mechanical Design.
-
Select the Drafting workbench.
The New Drawing Creation dialog box appears
with information on views that can possibly be created, as well as
information on the drawing standards.
 |
You can modify the drawing standards. To do this, click the
Modify button. |
 |
The New Drawing Creation dialog box will not appear if
you did not previously open a CATPart or a CATProduct document. |
-
Select the views to be automatically created on your
drawing from the New Drawing Creation dialog box, for example
the Front, Bottom and Right icon.
-
Click OK. A progress bar appears while the
views are being generated from the opened CATPart.
|
 |
If the color of the part is white and the Inherit 3D
Colors option is checked in Tools > Options > Mechanical Design
> Drafting > View tab, the generated views will result white and you
will not be able to view them properly. |
 |
The resulting view position will depend on the CATPart you
loaded before starting the Drafting workbench. In other words, the views
will be positioned according to:
- a plane you possibly selected in the part.
- a planar surface you possibly selected in the part.
- xy coordinates, in case you did not open a CATPart
beforehand. In this case, you will only be able to define the drawing
standards via the New Drawing dialog box.
