Create Views

In this Task 

Views will be created of the 2D geometry of the components and the 3D model. 

Associated Tasks 

Using the Blocks Palette.

Before you Start 

Use the Sample drawing for this Session. 

Blocks were created of the various parts and stored in the Blocks Palette of this drawing.

A Block was created of both the sketch geometry and the 3D model of each part.

The Drafting Palette

Tools | Palettes | Drafting

The Drafting palette is used to identify components which form part of an assembly. Multiple views of a single component can be created, including standard, isometric and sectional views.

In the example below, 3 components have been identified and named and a part name has been created in the Drafting Palette. 

All the components, when selected form a complete assembly, which has been identified and named, shown below.

Using the Drafting Palette to create different views of a part

Model Space, also referred to as the workspace, is the area in which the sketch geometry of the drawing is produced at full scale. Annotations in the form of hatching and dimensions are also produced in the model space area.A View of the drawing is created which is then inserted into the Paper Space layout as a viewport.More >Paper Space is the area where viewports of the drawing are assembled and the ‘virtual scale’ of the viewport is created here.Text notes and title blocks are also inserted into the Paper Space area. This is always set to the real-life, physical size of the paper onto which the drawing should be printed.Modifications performed on the sketch in the Model Space area are automatically updated in the relevant viewport in the Paper Space area.

Views will be created of the 2D geometry and the 3D model so that they can be inserted into paper space towards the end of this session.

Views that are created in this manner are not stored in the Drafting Palette.

Open the sample drawing, then create views of the sketch geometry of Part-01, using the View | Create View tool used throughout this Training Guide.

Repeat this task creating a view of each part, according to their names, shown in the Blocks palette.

Create an isometric view of the model, shown below.  This view can be named Assembly.

The Named Views dialog box should resemble the illustration, below.
