Creating a Projection View

This task will show you how to create projection views on the sheet, relatively to the front view previously generated.

Projection views are views conceived to be drawn or projected onto planes known as planes of projection. A transparent plane or pane of glass representing a plane of projection is located parallel to the front surfaces of the part.

Before You Begin, make sure you customized the following settings:

Grid:
De-activate the Grid icon from the Tools toolbar (bottom right).

View names and scaling factors:
Go to Tools->Options ->Mechanical Design -> Draftingoption (Layout tab) and check the View name and Scaling factor options.

3D colors inheritance
Go to Tools->Options->Mechanical Design->Drafting option (Generation tab) and un-check the 3D colors inheritance option.

	Open the GenDrafting_front_view.CATDrawing document.
	1. Click the Drawing window, and double-click the Projection View icon from the Views toolbar (Projections subtoolbar).
	As you move the cursor, a previewed projection view in a green frame appears on the sheet. 2. Define the projection view position by positioning the cursor at the desired view location, for example the right view position. 3. Click inside the green frame to generate the view.
	Note that the left view above was created and therefore positioned according to the first projection method. Projection methods are described in Creating Views via the Wizard.

	4. Define the bottom view position. 5. Click inside the sheet to generate the view.
