Views in the ICN

The Views tab contains the view structure of the current drawing, with HiCAD distinguishing between model and sheet views.

The production drawings which you can automatically derive from the 3-D model are displayed in the sheet views.

Furthermore, real 3-D views, so-called model views, such as any detail and sectional views, cut-outs at any depth or into any direction, list views with specific assemblies or parts etc., can be used in HiCAD. The position of the views in the sheet area is not thereby changed.

Arbitrary switch between model (1) and sheet views (2)
