to edge
- Once you have selected the function, define a processing plane by means of two edges, one for the x-axis and one for the y-axis.
After identifying the first edge, you can right-click to apply the proposal for the position of the processing plane.
- Choose a description for the 2-D view and the distance for the go-side.
- If required, activate the Including front side checkbox if you want the go-side to be displayed on the front side as well.
- Activate the angular dimensions as applicable and click OK to exit the dialogue window.
- Identify a point for the section path.
The 2-D view is shown at the cursor.
- Specify a fitting point in the drawing.
(1) Edge for X-axis of processing plane
(2) Edge for y-axis of processing plane
(3) Position on edge for section (go-side)
(4) Section path
(5) Go-side including front side
(6) Dimensioned 2-D view
You set the parameters for the coating surface (go-side) in the Configuration Editor at Compatibility > Sheet development up to HiCAD 2016 > Extended settings > Coating side of 2-D sheet section.
The parameters will be applied when you re-start HiCAD.
