Views to be created

In the Drawing parameters area of the Derive drawing dialogue window, you can specify in the Views to be created for: field which views you would like to create for

Assemblies,
Beams,
Plates,
Sheets,
General parts.

The Views for... dialogue window is displayed.

The Views for assemblies dialogue window

To assign views to the view group, activate the corresponding checkboxes.

For axonometric views you can additionally select the alignment (top/bottom, left/right) via listboxes.

Sectional view can also be arranged in different ways:
Aligned (default)
In columns, to the left or right of the view group
In rows, above or below the view group.

The total height of the view group changes when the arrangement in columns and rows is selected.

In addition, you can select the minimum number of sectional views per page that is required for the selected arrangement method.

The following views are possible:

Part type	Axonometric view	Sectional view	Development	Standard views
Assemblies	landscape or portrait	yes	-	all
Beams	landscape or portrait	-	-	all
Plates	landscape or portrait	-	-	all
Sheets	landscape or portrait	-	yes	top, bottom, left, right
General parts	landscape or portrait			all

View groups to be created

In the workshop drawing, detail groups are managed in so-called "view groups". The structure of these view groups is specified via the checkboxes shown below.

Main parts as assembly	One view group is entered for each assembly main part, and each main part which is not assigned to any assembly. Sub-parts which are assigned to a main part, i.e. plates, connections, bolts etc. are also taken over into the view group.
Main parts, individually	If this checkbox is active, one view group for each main part is entered into the workshop drawing. Sub-parts such as plates, connections, bolts etc. are only taken over into the workshop drawing if the Sub-parts, individually checkbox is active.
Sub-parts, individually	If this checkbox is active, one view group for each sub-part is entered in the workshop drawing.

Use the buttons of the Views to be created for: area to specify the views for a view group.

Example of a workshop drawing with 3 view groups

Please note:

For each view group creation, whether for a part or an assembly, the assigned type of use will be evaluated.

If a drawing-relevant assembly (e.g. an assembly with an assembly main part) has been assigned a type of use, the drawing configuration will be determined via the type of use of the assembly main part.
If a drawing-relevant assembly (e.g. an assembly with an assembly main part) has not been assigned a type of use, HiCAD will check whether the assembly main part has been assigned a type of use. If this is the case, the drawing configuration for assembly views will be determined via the type of use of the assembly main part.
If a part of a drawing-relevant assembly has been assigned a type of use, the drawing configuration for part views will be determined via the type of use of this part.
If a part of an assembly (assembly main part or normal part) has not been assigned a type of use, the DEFAULT configuration will be used.
