Description[edit | edit source]
The 
Templater AuxView tool adds an auxiliary view to the active TechDraw drawing page based on a straight line in an existing base view. This line, together with the Z-axis of the base view, defines the orientation of the auxiliary view. The end vertices of the line can either be selected separately or derived from a selected edge.
Usage[edit | edit source]
- Select two vertices or one edge in an existing view.
- There are several ways to invoke the tool.
- Press the Auxiliary View button.
- Select the Templater → Auxiliary View option from the menu.
- A new auxiliary view, an AuxView object, is created. Its line of sight is perpendicular to the line between the selected vertices.
- The Auxiliary view settings task panel opens.
- Optionally change the marker of the view.
- Optionally reverse the direction of the view.
- Optionally align the direction with the line.
- Click Ok to close the task panel and finish the tool.
- Drag the view and the annotation elements to their final positions.
