New View, Without Link

Views > New > Standard

You use this function to define a new view without links. In addition, you have the option of defining a list view. A list view is a view in which only certain parts (all parts of a part list) of the drawing are displayed.

 

Positioning

You determine the position of the new view in the drawing under Positioning. For this purpose, a preview of the view frame is displayed, the size of which depends on the selected projection and the parts displayed in the view. In any case, the smallest frame that completely encloses all parts of the view is selected. The view is placed via the focus of the frame. To do this, you can simply place the cursor at the desired point or use the point options of the Autopilot or the Point options menu.

If the placement should be changed, then after clicking on a kind of rubber band to the last placement point will be displayed.



    • Projection

    In this area of the dialogue window you select the desired projection method. The six standard views

    as well as the standard axonometry are available for selection.

    Standard axonometry and standard views (world coordinate system)

     

    With these projection methods, you can select under Reference system whether the selected projection should be based on the world coordinate system or on the orientation of a particular part. In the latter case, select the desired part.

    In the following example, the front view of the model (1) has been generated once with the world coordinate system as the reference system (2) and once with the orientation of the threaded rod (3).

     

    Instead of selecting a projection method, you also have the option of selecting a projection plane . In this case, the new view is rotated so that the selected projection plane is located in the screen plane. After selecting a projection plane, the selection of a reference system will be locked.

    The projection plane can be changed before accepting the view by clicking on .

     

    General

    Here you select the name of the view, the scale and the display type. HiCAD suggests the name View followed by a consecutive number. You can accept the name or enter a new one.

     

    List view

    This function also offers the possibility to create list views. A list view contains only the parts that belong to the active part list. To define a list view, you must first activate the corresponding checkbox.

    If a part list is active when the function New view, without link is called, it will be preset. The number of parts belonging to the list is shown in the field below List view.

     

    Above: Original view with 4 parts, below: List view with parts (2) and (4)

    If you do not want to use the active part list or if no part list is active, you can select the desired parts in the ICN or in the drawing by clicking on the Select parts symbol. Please note that a part that has already been selected will be removed from the part list if you select it again.

    By clicking on Apply part list of a different view , you can transfer parts displayed in another view to the part list.

    List views are marked with the symbol in the ICN.

    Please note:

     

    Heading

    You can assign a caption to the new view directly when creating it. The entries in the dialogue window correspond to those of the Create/edit/delete view caption(s) function.

     

    If the Apply immediately checkbox is active, the view is applied directly after placement, i.e. you do not have to click on the Apply button.

    If the checkbox is not active, use the OK or Apply button. If you select OK, the view is accepted and the dialogue window will be closed. If you select Apply, the view is accepted but the dialogue window will remain open so that further views can be created. With Cancel you close the dialogue window.
