You can use the Projected axes docker to create and edit drawing profiles. The Projected axes docker features a real-time preview of a cube, which represents the projected axes and scales for the chosen drawing profile. When you change drawing profiles, or when you modify the projected axes or scales, the preview is automatically updated.
The Projected axes docker allows you to set the degree offsets for the x, y, and z axes. For information on how these offsets are calculated, see Understanding projected drawing modes. The Projected axes docker also allows you to set a scale factor for each axis. For example, if you use a drawing profile with a scale of 50% on the x-axis, projected objects will display at half their original size along their x-axis.
You can create a customized drawing profile from an existing one. You can also edit preset and custom drawing profiles, or you can delete them altogether.
| To display or hide the Projected Axes docker | |
• |
Click Window  Projected axes.
|
A check mark beside the Projected axes command indicates that the Projected axes docker is displayed. |
| To create or edit a drawing profile | |
1. |
If the Projected axes docker is hidden, click Window Projected axes to display
it.
|
If you want to edit a drawing profile, choose a profile from the list. |
2. |
In the Projected axes docker, do one of the following:
|
• |
Enter a value between -360 and 360 in the X axis angle box. Repeat for the y
and z axes.
|
• |
Click the User specified angle button
 next to the Angle box, and drag the
pointer in the drawing window.
|
3. |
Enter a value between 10 and 500 in the X axis scale box. Repeat for the y and z
axes.
|
4. |
Click the Save button
 .
|
5. |
Choose where you want to save the file, and type a filename in the Filename box.
|
6. |
Click Save.
|
 |
You can create a custom axonometric drawing profile by having the application
calculate the scale values automatically. To do this, type values in the X axis
angle, Y axis angle, and Z axis angle boxes, and enable the Auto
axonometric check box. Note that the Auto axonometric check box may be
disabled for some angle values. In such cases, you first need to adjust the angle
values so that the option becomes available.
|
| To delete a drawing profile | |
1. |
In the Projected axes docker, choose a drawing profile from the list box.
|
2. |
Click the Delete button
