1.2 Create a New Drawing

As with creating a new part or assembly file, you must go through aseries of steps.

Complete the following steps to create a new drawing file:

1. Create a new file.

2. Define the default model and the template.

3. Complete the creation of the drawing file.

To create a new drawing, select File > Newor click in the toolbar.The New dialog box appears. Select the Drawingoption in the Newdialog box, as shown in Figure 11, and enter a name for the drawing.

Click .

The Common Name field isoptional and enables you

to assign a common (user-friendly) name to a newmodel for use withWindchill.

The next dialog box that appears is the New Drawing dialog box, asshown in Figure 12. The Default Model field defines the drawingmodel to be represented in the drawing. To assign the model, enter

the model name or click . By default, only one model can beselected; additional models can be added once the drawing has beencreated.

You define the template to be used in the drawing once the defaultmodel has been defined. The template options include the following:

Use Template

Empty with Format

Empty

Use Template To use a predefined drawing template, select the Use templateoptionand select the template name in the Template section, as shown in

Figure 12. Alternatively, you can click and browse to othertemplates that are stored in other directories.

If the Use defaulttemplateoption isselected in the New dialog

box, the New Drawingdialog box defaults to theUse Templateoption, asshown in Figure 12. A

predefined template isselected for use.

Empty with

Format

To use a predefined drawing format, select the Empty with Format

option. Enter the name of the format or click to browse to apredefined format. The dialog box appears as shown in Figure 13.

A template can consist ofplaced views, pre-defined

view displays, placednotes, defined tables, andshown dimensions. A

format generally containsstandard information, suchas borders, title blocks,tables, and companyinformation.

Undo/Redo The Undo/Redo functionality exists for drawings. The following typesof operations enable undoing and redoing:

The stack represents the

list of operations that havebeen performed on themodel.

Supported operations

Unsupported operations that clear the stack

Unsupported operations that do not clear the stack

The Undo/Redo functionality supports a limited number of operations.For a detailed list of the detailing operations and how they affectUndo/Redo functionality, go to the Help Center and search in theDetailing functional group for Undo. Three different articles thatdiscuss each classification; Supported Undo/Redo Operations,Unsupported Undo/Redo Operations (Non-Clearing), andUnsupported Undo/Redo Operations (Stack Clearing).

1.4 Place the First Drawing View

A General view is always the first view that must be placed on adrawing. This view becomes the parent to other views in the drawing.

Complete the following steps to place the first (General) view:

1. Select the Layout tab.

2. Start the creation of the view.

3. Place the view on the drawing sheet.

4. Complete the creation of the drawing view.

Drawings created using a template could already contain certainviews. In these situations, you might not need to create the first

drawing view; however, you can create additional General views ifthey are required in the drawing.

The Layout tab only shows the commands relevant to that function.This tab must be active to create and modify views. The commandsfor the Layout tab are shown in Figure 19.

Figure 19

Use one of the following methods to create a General view:

Right-click and select Insert General View.

Click in the Model Views group from the Layout tab.

Step 1 - Select the Layout tab.

Step 2 - SStart the creation of the view.


28/102



Select a location on the drawing to place the view. The General viewis initially placed on the drawing sheet in its default 3D orientation.Once the view is placed, the Drawing View dialog box appears asshown in Figure 110.

Figure 110

The remaining categoriesin the Drawing View dialogbox are discussed later inthis training manual.

By default, the View Type category settings are shown in the DrawingView dialog box. This section enables you to enter a name for theview as well as define its view orientation. To modify the vieworientation, select one the following orientation options in the View

orientation section:

View names from the model

Geometry references

Angles

View Names

from the Model

The View names from the modeloption enables you to orient theGeneral view on the drawing using a predefined view saved in themodel. The list of predefined views are provided in the Drawing Viewdialog box, as shown in Figure 111.

Geometry

References

The Geometry referencesoption enables you to orient the Generalview using the orientation tools that are used in other 3D models. Youmust select an orientation (e.g., Front, Top, Right, etc.), then select aplanar surface or datum plane as its reference, as shown inFigure 112. The two references must be perpendicular to oneanother to orient the view into 2D.

Default datum planes arerecommended to orient themodel rather than planar

surfaces; if the planarsurfaces are deleted later,you lose orientationreferences.

Figure 112

You can click to return the view to the default

orientation.

Angles The Anglesoption enables you to orient the General view byselecting a direction and entering angular values to place the view.Directions available are Normal, Vertical, Horizontal, and Edge/Axis.The Normal, Vertical, Horizontal directions are relative to the drawingsheet (monitor) and the Edge/Axisoption enables you to select areference on the model to orient from. Figure 113shows the Anglessection. You can add and remove orientation angles as required using

and .

To apply new view orientation, select an option and click .

For example, the model in Figure 114is oriented into 2D using theGeometry referencesoption and selecting references for the Frontand Topreference options. As an alternative, you can select the Viewnames from the modeloption with a predefined orientation to orientthe model the same way.

Figure 114

Once the orientation has been defined, click in the DrawingView dialog box to complete the view placement.

Additional options and categories are available in the Drawing Viewdialog box, which are discussed later in this training course.

Step 3 - Place the view on the drawing sheet.

1.5 Place Additional Views

Drawings usually consist of multiple views to accurately represent thedrawing model.

Complete the following steps to place additional views in a drawing:


1. Start the creation of the view.

2. Place the view on the drawing sheet.

3. Complete the creation of the drawing view.

The Layout tab only shows the commands relevant to that function.This tab must be active to create and modify views.

Once a General view has been added to the drawing, you can create

additional General views or other types of views that reference theGeneral view. The view icons are found in the Layout tab in the ModelViews group, as shown in Figure 115.

Figure 115

The additional view types are described in Table 13


Step 2 - Start the creation of the view.

Option Description

General This option creates an independent view of a model. Theorientation of the general view is determined by using theView Typecategory in the Drawing View dialog box. It is

possible to place several general views on a drawing, asshown in Figure 116.

Figure 116

Projection This option projects a view off an existing view. This createsorthogonal views, such as top, bottom, right, or left. Aprojection view maintains the scale of its parent view asshown in Figure 117.

Auxiliary This option projects a view normal to a datum plane, edge,or axis of an existing view. This type of view can be used tosee the actual size and form off of an angled surface.

Auxiliary views can be created by referencing a datumplane, an edge or an axis of any other type of view as

shown in Figure 118.

Figure 118

Detailed This option creates a scaled view focusing on a specificarea of an existing view. The detailed view is created bysketching a spline on the parent view that encloses the areato be represented. To complete the view, assign a name,boundary type and note location. The detailed view isautomatically labeled with its scale value and view name.Orientation of this view corresponds to the parent view asshown in Figure 119.

The methods for creating a new view vary depending on the type ofview that is required. The methods include the following:

Revolved This option creates a planar area cross-section that is

revolved 90around the projection of the cutting plane asshown in Figure 120. Revolved views can be translated inthe projection direction.

Figure 120

Copy &

Align

This option creates a duplicate of an existing Partial orDetailed view. A new boundary spline can be sketched andthe view is aligned to the parent view as shown inFigure 121. The Copy & Align view maintains the same

scale as its parent view.

Drawings created using atemplate could alreadycontain certain views.

Additional views can beadded at any time.

To create an additional General view, right-click and select InsertGeneral Viewand place the view (explained in Section 1.4). As an

alternative, you can click in the Layout tab.

To create a Projected view, right-click on the parent view and

select Insert Projection Viewor click in the Layouttab.

If a parent view is pre-selected, only a Projection view can becreated. To create a Detailed, Auxiliary, or Revolved view, youmust clear all views and click the appropriate icon in the ModelViews group from the Layout taband then access these options.

Visibility area is a categorythat can be customized for

a drawing view. This isdiscussed later in thistraining course.

To create a Copy and Align view, pre-select a Detailed view or a

partial visibility area view and click in the ModelViews group from the Layout tab.This view type is not available

unless a Detailed view or a partial visibility area view has beencreated in the drawing.

To obtain information about a view, you can click inthe Model Views group from the Layout tab and select a view. Aninformation window appears, as shown in Figure 122.

Figure 122


36/102



In general, views are placed using the left mouse button. Note thefollowing additional information for placing specific view types:

General views are placed using the left mouse button. Initially, the

view is placed in its default orientation; however, it can be orientedinto 2D using any of the techniques discussed in Section 1.4.

Projection views are placed using the left mouse button. They canonly be placed horizontally or vertically relative to the parent view.

Detailed views focus on a specific area; therefore, you must firstselect a point on an existing view. This point represents thecenterpoint for the new view. Once selected, sketch a splinearound this point to define the extent (boundary) of the view. Tocomplete the spline, press the middle mouse button. Once thespline is complete, place the view using the left mouse button.

Auxiliary views first require the selection of an edge, axis, or datumplane to represent the front surface of the new view. Onceselected, use the left mouse button to place the view.

Revolved views require the selection of a parent view followed byplacement using the left mouse button. Once selected, theDrawing View dialog box appears. You can select thecross-section to be referenced or create a new one.

For many of the view types, the drawing view placement is completeupon placement. However, for General and Revolved views that use

the Drawing View dialog box, you must click to complete theview placement.

Additional options and categories that are available in the DrawingView dialog box are discussed later in this training course.

Step 3 - Place the view on the drawing sheet.

Step 4 - Complete the creation of the drawing

view.

1.6 Modify View Properties

All except General and Revolved views are placed without accessingthe Drawing Views dialog box. To further refine any views that do notaccess this dialog box, you can modify the view properties. So far, you

have learned about the View Type category. The remaining categoriesin the Drawing View dialog box can also be used.

Complete the following steps to modify view properties:


2. Open the Drawing View dialog box.

3. Modify the view properties.

4. Complete the modification of the drawing view

The Layout tab only shows the commands relevant to that function.This tab must be active to modify views.

Use one of the following techniques to open the Drawing View dialogbox, if it is not already open:

Double-click on the view that you are modifying.

Select the view that you are modifying, right-click, and selectProperties.

To modify a view property, you must select a category in the leftcolumn of the Drawing View dialog box. Once selected, the dialog boxupdates and displays the available options for the selected category.


Step 2 - Open the Drawing View dialog box.

Step 3 - Modify the view properties.

Scale The Scalecategory in the Drawing View dialog box enables you toassign scales to General and Detailed views that are independent ofthe drawing scale. The scale for all other views in the drawing aredetermined by the parent view. Figure 128shows the Scalecategoryoptions in the Drawing View dialog box.

Figure 128

By default, views are created using the same scale that was assignedto the sheet (Default scale for sheet). Any changes made to thesheet scale updates these views. The Custom scaleoption enablesyou to assign an independent scale. Once assigned, the view scale islocated directly under the view, as shown in Figure 129.

When you create a cross-section in Part mode or Assembly mode, thesystem automatically checks to see if the parts intersected by thecross-section have assigned materials. If the material name matchesthe name of the saved cross-hatching pattern file (e.g., copper.xch),the cross-hatching pattern is automatically applied. The

pro_crosshatch_dirconfig.pro option is used to point to a directorycontaining user-defined cross-hatching pattern files.

In Figure 143, the assembly drawing contains a section view. Thematerials assigned to the two components (i.e., aluminum and steel)match the names of saved cross-hatching files (i.e., aluminum.xchand steel.xch). When the section view was created and placed, thesecross-hatching patterns were automatically applied.

Figure 143

Cross-hatching

You can hatch or fill flat surfaces by right-clicking on them andselecting Hatchor Fill.

You can use the X-Areaoption on the MOD XHATCH menu toshow or hide areas of component sections, as shown inFigure 144.

The Lock View Movementoption enables you to automaticallylock views to prevent them from being moved. Locking must bedisabled to move a view.

Drawing Setup

File

The drawing setup file is a file that gets stored with each drawing and

controls certain characteristics of the drawing. For example, thedrawing setup file values determine items such as projection type,view scale format, drawing units, dimension, and note text height.

All drawing setup fileoptions can be reviewed

using Pro/HELP. Refer toAppendix B for adescription on how to usethese options.

To access the drawing setup file, select File > Drawing Options. TheOptions dialog box appears as shown in Figure 149.
