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. Set the desired options.
  5. 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.
  • DataRg1 Line VCompound (Bool): If true, visible smooth edges are shown.
  • DataRg NLine VCompound (Bool): If true, visible sewn edges are shown.
  • DataOut Line VCompound (Bool): If true, visible outline edges are shown.
  • DataIso Line VCompound (Bool): If true, visible isoparameters are shown.
  • 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 isible isoparameters are shown.

Notes

This tool was previously available in the Drawing Workbench.
