Relative View and Round stock!
Relative View and Round stock!
(OP)
I have been using relative view for awhile now, and whenever i come to a piece on my assembly that has no straight edges (ie, round bar, or a shaft), i cant import that piece into a drawing without draging in the whole assembly. I can pick the 'cut-off' surface of the shaft for the "first" surface, but SW wont let me select the "second" surface to complete the selection. Is this a known bug???

Usually, I just orient the model to the end view (select theend face and click the "normal to" view button). Then I add the view to the drawing using "Insert → Drawing view → Named". If the orientation doesn't match a named view, there is still the option to use the model's current view.

This seems very rudimentary to me...

Yesterday, I added a plane to a part, specifically to get it oriented for drawing purposes.
I clicked on the plane and I clicked the normal-to button. I went to the drawing and I selected the name view, and I clicked back on the model. It worked fine!
The plane is hidden. I am not sure what would happen if I deleted it.
Usually, I use relative view.
