Weldment Drawing Issue

May 09, 2005 1 Replies

Okay here's the problem.



I've got a weldment comprising several cut-list items (bodies) and I've done a drawing showing how all these sub-weldments go together to make the completed part, I also want to do a drawing of the sub weldments as separate entities to show them on their own. Now, I know I can do this using "relative to model" views.. and I have done... but one of my sub-weldments is cylindrical and there's no "face" to select the view orientation.



Anyone got a workaround? I guess I could cut a couple of tiiiiiny flat surfaces onto it, but that seems a bit pants to me. Anyone got any suggestions?


I draw a sketch in the drawing view and add a perp or parallel relation to the view. Then use this sketch line to create an Auxillary view
