AutoPlot Part Drawing Composition

 

Arrangement of part views in output area panel is used to specify the views to be used for the visualisation of a part in a drawing. Holding the cursor on the view box for a while will open view color options:

 

Rendering options

Wireframe representation.

Wireframe representation with hidden lines.

Rendered view with the colors of the piece of furniture.

 

 

Check box Smart View - if checked, the system analyses which projections to be placed and decides whether they are needed or not. For example, if a part does not have machinable geometry on both sides, the system will not place a second projection because it is redundant and duplicates the first projection.

 

If part has CAM processing align view by clamping with the most operation. On/Off this option.

Base View Alignment: allows specifying the orientation of a part in the center view. Available options:

 

Align by longest edge  - according to the longest edge.

 

Align by grain direction - according to the grain direction.

 

Horizontal orientation base view - sets the horizontal orientation for the base image.

 

Vertical orientation base view- sets the vertical orientation for the base image.

 

AutoPlot Align view to Less Area  - rotates the part with the processing side with smaller face.

 

Turn to processing side   - rotates the part with the processing side with largest number of holes.

 

Drawing Turn Part to Top Side   - rotates the part with processing side with Top face.

 

 

Scale allows choosing the scale of the part view. Auto option always recalculates view scales so that the view fits into an output area. Otherwise, when the selected scale is specified, only the start point coordinates of the output area from the output area settings are used. In this case, the area size is not taken into account.

 

Iso View Scale Factor: allows specifying the scale factor for an isometric view. Scale factor is taken from the base view scale.
