Drawing Views. Detail Views
As a result of its use, the caption for the detail view is created on the drawing. The image of the detail view
itself is automatically clipped by selected contour (circle, oval or rectangle) and augmented by the view
caption. The obtained image can be edited later by using the standard tools of the T-FLEX CAD.
When creating the detail view with the caption, the following will occur:
1. Creating the new drawing view (on the basis of a new page of the type “Auxiliary”). The values of the
parameters of the drawing view are set “by default”;
2. Creating a copy with translation for associated copying of the selected elements onto the drawing view
page with the specified scale and rotation angle. Clipping the image to be copied by the automatically
created hatch of the specified form;
3. Creating detailing elements for the detail view (view caption, caption of the detail view).
After invoking the option it is necessary to do the following:
1. Select the fixing node for the elements which will be copied;
2. Specify the center of the selection area for the detail view;
3. Specify the form and size of the selection area for the detail view;
4. Specify the location of the leader line jog for the detail view caption;
5. Specify the location of the detail view (that is, the location of the drawing view with the detail view).
Note that in the described sequence of steps, there is no step for selecting the original elements to be copied.
When creating the detail view with the caption, the collection of the copied elements is determined by the
view selection area – all 2D elements at least partially contained in the specified area will be copied.
For selecting the fixing node, in the auto menu of the command the following option will be available:
Set relation with Node
The fixing node will determine the initial location of the fixing point for the created view. If, upon specifying
the fixing node, the user selects an arbitrary point on the drawing (with the help of ), then at this point the
free node, which will be selected as the fixing node, will be automatically created.
After specifying the fixing node, the system will ask to specify the center of the selection area. This can be
done by picking an arbitrary point in the drawing's window (with the help of ) or by specifying exact
coordinates in the command's properties window.
