TechDraw DraftView/pl

Description
The TechDraw DraftView tool inserts a view of a selected Part-based or Group object into a drawing page. Unlike the standard View tool, views created with this tool are handled by the  Draft Workbench, and specially designed for showing 2D objects. See Notes.



Usage

 * 1) Select a Draft object in the 3D view or in the tree
 * 2) If you have multiple drawing pages in your document, you will need to select the desired page in the tree.
 * 3) Press the  button
 * 4) A view of the draft object will appear on the page.

Options

 * Creating a DraftView of a layer will recursively handle all objects found in that layer. The View is updated automatically when the contents of the layer changes
 * There is no hidden line removal. Each face found in the handled object(s) will simply be projected along the Direction vector, no specific action is taken when faces overlap
 * The Draft View also supports all Draft objects that are not Part-based, such as dimensions and texts
 * Color, line width and line pattern can be specified in the properties. Line patterns can be fine-tuned by directly giving a stroke-dasharray value, such as 3,5
 * Projected faces are filled with the face color
