Project: HiCAD Basics

Other Drawing Objects

The geometry of the assemblies, main parts and sub-parts is usually enhanced to include further objects, for detail design of the drawing or as a construction aid.

Examples include:

• Dimensionings and texts (2-D and 3-D)

• Processing planes (3-D)
  The drawing plane is normally the screen plane. By defining processing planes, however, you can choose any other surface as the drawing plane in a 3-D drawing.
• Views (3-D)
  A view refers to a projection, i.e. a two-dimensional representation of 3-D objects. A distinction is made, for example, between standard views (top view, side view, front view), isometries and axonometries.
• Pixel graphics
  In addition to the previously described drawing objects, HiCAD also allows you to insert pixel graphics, e.g. company logos, into your drawing.
• Drawing frames and title blocks
  HiCAD provides drawing frames in various DIN formats including title block, which you can load into your drawing.
• Grids and auxiliary lines
  2-D and 3-D grids as well as 2-D auxiliary lines can be used as construction aids.
• Paste clipboard contents
  You can paste texts, graphics and excel tables via the Windows clipboard into HiCAD drawings.
