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:
    • Press the Project shape... button.
    • Select the TechDraw → Project shape... option from the menu.
  3. The Project shapes task panel opens. See Properties.
  4. Specify the desired options.
  5. The selected options should not result in an empty projection as this will cause an error. For example, for an object with only sharp edges, such as a Part Box, the Visible sharp edges and/or Hidden sharp edges option must be checked.
  6. Press the OK button.

Properties

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

Data

Projection

  • DataSource (Link): The shape to project.
  • DataDirection (Vector): The direction of the projection. This is the normal vector of the projection plane.
  • DataVCompound (Bool): If true, visible sharp edges are shown. Example: all edges of a Part Box.
  • DataRg1 Line VCompound (Bool): If true, visible smooth edges are shown. Example: the edges between a fillet and its adjoining faces.
  • DataRg NLine VCompound (Bool): If true, visible sewn edges are shown. Example: the seam of a 360° cylindrical face.
  • DataOut Line VCompound (Bool): If true, visible outline edges (that are not sharp) are shown. Example: the side view of a Part Cylinder has two such edges.
  • DataIso Line VCompound (Bool): If true, visible isoparameters are shown. Does not work currently.
  • DataHCompound (Bool): If true, hidden sharp edges are shown.
  • DataRg1 Line HCompound (Bool): If true, hidden smooth edges are shown
  • DataRg NLine HCompound (Bool): If true, hidden sewn edges are shown.
  • DataOut Line HCompound (Bool): If true, hidden outline edges are shown.
  • DataIso Line HCompound (Bool): If true, hidden isoparameters are shown. Does not work currently.

Notes

This tool was previously available in the Drawing Workbench.
