TechDraw ProjectShape

Description
The TechDraw ProjectShape tool creates projections of shapes. The projections are created in the 3D view, and not on a TechDraw Page.



Usage

 * 1) Select one or more objects. For each object a separate projection will be created.
 * 2) There are several ways to invoke the tool:
 * 3) * Press the button.
 * 4) * Select the option from the menu.
 * 5) The  task panel opens. See Properties.
 * 6) Set the desired options.
 * 7) The specified options should not result in an empty projection as this will cause an error. This means, for example, that for an object with only sharp edges, such as a Part Box, the  and/or  option must be checked.
 * 8) Press the  button.

Properties
A Projection object is derived from a Part Feature and inherits all its properties. It also has the following additional properties:

Data

 * : The shape to project.
 * : The direction of the projection. This is the normal vector of the projection plane.
 * : If, visible sharp edges are shown. Example: a box only has sharp edges.
 * : If, visible smooth edges are shown. Example: the edges between a fillet and its adjoining faces.
 * : If, visible sewn edges are shown. Example: the seam of a 360° cylindrical face.
 * : If, visible outline edges (that are not sharp) are shown. Example: a 360° cylindrical face has 2 such edges (parallel to its seam).
 * : If, visible isoparameters are shown.
 * : If, hidden sharp edges are shown.
 * : If, hidden smooth edges are shown
 * : If, hidden sewn edges are shown.
 * : If, hidden outline edges are shown.
 * : If, hidden isible isoparameters are shown.
