Description
The Detail tool creates a view of small area of an existing view.
Usage
- Select a part view in the 3D window or tree.
- If you have multiple drawing pages in your document, you will also need to select the desired page in the tree.
- Press the Insert Detail View button to create the section view.
- select the created view in the tree and change its properties DataAnchor Point, DataRadius and/or DataScale to adjust the position, size and magnification of the base view area that should be displayed in the detail view.
The Detail view can be displayed within a round or square viewbox. This is controlled by the preferences setting Detail View Outline Shape.
Properties
- DataBaseView: The view on which this Detail view is based.
- DataAnchor Point: The center of the Detail view within the DataBaseView.
- DataRadius: The size of the area in the DataBaseView that is displayed in the Detail view.
- DataScale: Magnification level.
- DataReference: An identifier to indicate the area of the DataBaseView that is displayed.
Note: A Detail view inherits all applicable DataBaseView properties.
Scripting
See also: TechDraw API and FreeCAD Scripting Basics.
The Detail tool can be used in macros and from the Python console by using the following functions:
Detail = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.addObject('TechDraw::DrawViewDetail','Detail')
