You can specify a projected drawing mode by choosing drawing profiles and drawing planes from the Drawing plane toolbar. However, you can have only one drawing profile and one drawing plane active at a time.
You can draw an object in a projected drawing mode, or you can project an object onto a drawing plane. You can also unproject an object from a drawing plane; this reconstructs the object as it would appear in an orthographic view.
| To display or hide the Drawing Plane toolbar | |
• |
Click View  Toolbars Drawing plane.
|
A check mark beside the Drawing plane command indicates that the Drawing plane toolbar is displayed. |
| To choose a preset drawing profile | |
• |
From the Drawing profiles list box on the Drawing plane toolbar, choose one of
the following preset drawing profiles:
|
• |
Cabinet oblique (0, 90, 60)
|
• |
Cavalier oblique (0,90,45)
|
• |
Dimetric (37,90,37)
|
• |
Dimetric (16,90,37)
|
• |
Dimetric (7,90,42)
|
• |
Dimetric (15,90,15)
|
• |
Isometric (30,90,30)
|
• |
Trimetric (12,90,23)
|
• |
Trimetric (5,90,30)
|
• |
Trimetric (45,90,7)
|
• |
Trimetric (54,90,17)
|
| To choose a drawing plane | |
• |
On the Drawing plane toolbar, choose one of the following drawing planes:
|
• |
Orthographic
|
• |
Top
|
• |
Front
|
• |
Right
|
| To draw an object in a projected drawing mode | |
1. |
From the Drawing profiles list box on the Drawing plane toolbar, choose a
drawing profile.
|
2. |
On the Drawing plane toolbar, choose the Top, Front, or Right drawing plane.
|
3. |
Draw an object.
|
| To project an object onto a drawing plane | |
1. |
Select an object.
|
2. |
Click Arrange Transformations Project.
|
3. |
In the Transformations docker, choose Project from the list box.
|
4. |
In the Plane area, click one of the following buttons:
|
• |
Top — projects the object onto the top plane
|
• |
Front — projects the object onto the front plane
|
• |
Right — projects the object onto the right plane
|
5. |
To specify an origin point on the drawing around which to project the selected
object, do one of the following:
|
• |
Type values in the X and Y boxes to specify coordinates along the horizontal and
vertical axes.
|
• |
Click the Specify point button
 next to the X and Y boxes, and click a point
on the drawing.
|
• |
Enable the Relative origin check box, and click the point on the origin locator
 that corresponds to the point on the object from which you want to project
the object.
|
If you want to leave the original object unchanged and apply the transformation to a copy, type 1 in the Copies box. The number of copies cannot exceed one. |
6. |
Click Apply.
|
 |
Applying a contour to a projected object may not produce the desired results.
It is recommended that you apply a contour to the object in its unprojected
state and then project the object. Contour groups can be unlinked by clicking
Arrange Break contour group apart.
|
| To unproject an object from a drawing plane | |
1. |
Select an object.
|
2. |
Click Arrange Transformations Project.
|
3. |
In the Transformations docker, choose Unproject from the list box.
|
4. |
In the Plane area, click one of the following buttons:
|
• |
Top — unprojects the object from the top plane
|
• |
Front — unprojects the object from the front plane
|
• |
Right — unprojects the object from the right plane
|
5. |
To specify an origin point in the drawing around which to unproject the selected
object, do one of the following:
|
• |
Type values in the X and Y boxes to specify coordinates along the horizontal and
vertical axes.
|
• |
Click the Specify point button
next to the X and Y boxes, and click a point
on the drawing.
|
• |
Enable the Relative origin check box, and click the point on the origin locator
that corresponds to the point on the object from which you want to unproject
the object.
|
If you want to leave the original object unchanged and apply the transformation to a copy, type 1 in the Copies box. The number of copies cannot exceed one. |
6. |
Click Apply.
