Drawing Views. Detail Views
For moving the drawing view area (that is, the drawing view box relative to the page displayed in the view),
the marker is used.
Originally, the boundaries of the box coincide with the boundaries of the displayed page. Shifting
the view with respect to its page makes sense only when a portion of the page is supposed to be
displayed on the view. In this case, the “Clip Image” flag is usually checked in the parameters
dialog box, and the view box manually reduced to the desired size.
Creating Drawing View
After entering into the command “SD: Create Drawing View” the option becomes active by default.
This option allows the user to create a simple drawing view. The created view can display the contents of
already existing page of the current document as well as of the new page, automatically created by the
system for the given drawing view.
After activating the option the cursor starts moving a box with markers for
moving the view area, rotating and scaling the view. Meanwhile, the status
bar displays the help message “Select Drawing View type or set new
Drawing View placement”. The drawing view can be placed on the current
page by specifying a point on the drawing (a 2D node or an arbitrary point).
To fix the view at a node, one can use the following automenu option:
Set relation with Node
The location of the created view (coordinates X and Y of the fixing point) can be also specified in the
command's properties window (in the group “Basic parameters”).
By default, the snap of the drawing view is carried out at the center of the view box. It is possible to select
another fixing point of the view with the help of the option:
Fixing Point of View
After specifying the view location, the user can define more accurately the location, the size and the scale of
the view by using the markers around the view box (the use of markers is described in section “Editing
drawing views” in more detail).
