Drawing Views. Detail Views
All these scales are superimposed in the image of the drawing view on the host drawing page.
When creating a drawing view using the options of the command “SD: Create Drawing View”, the user
defines only two of these scales (for example, the scale of the drawing view and the page scale when using
the option , or the scale of the view image and the copying scale when working with the options and
). The missing scale is assigned to default value. The user can manually modify the values of all types of
scale (see next section), however in this case the user needs to clearly understand the mechanism of the scale
array.
For example, consider the drawing view of a
shaft on a diagram in the beginning of this
chapter. This drawing view of the shaft in
axonometric projection was performed with
the page scale equal to 1 and the drawing
view scale equal to 0.5 (1:2). As a result, the
image of the view on the main drawing page
has the cumulative scale equal to 0.5. By
changing the drawing view page scale to 2
(2:1), we will get the axonometric projection
of the shaft on the main page to the 1:1 scale.
Should we change the view page scale to 4
(4:1), the cumulative scale becomes equal to
2 (2:1).
The detail view (View A) in this example was created using the option . The copying scale and,
therefore, the drawing view page scale is equal to 4 (4:1). Meanwhile, the drawing view scale is equal to 1.
As a result, the cumulative scale of the detail view image is equal to 4.
Editing Drawing Views
Editing a Drawing View
Editing of a drawing view is done by the command “SD: Edit Drawing View” The command is called as:
Keyboard Textual Menu Icon
“Edit|Draw|Drawing View”
Upon calling the command, an option appears:
Select All Elements
Once all drawing views are selected by the option , they are highlighted, and additional options appear in
the automenu:
Delete selected Element(s)
Cancel selection
