Problems with detail view
Problems with detail view
(OP)
I'm trying to create a detail view in a drawing using a box instead of the default circle outline. The instructions say to create the box before selecting the detail view option. When I do this, SolidWorks ignores the box and still attempts to draw a circle. Is there a way around this or am I missing something?
Thanks,
Tom

Verify that "display new detail circles as circles" is unchecked under Tools/Options/System Options/Drawings.

RE: Problems with detail view
If you look at the Detail manager (left side of screen) under Style, two options exist ... Circle & Profile. The circle option is automatically selected & cannot be deselected and the profile option is greyed out. I am assuming that later versions/SPs of SW have either activated or eliminated this option.

CorBlimeyLimey: If you select anything in the Style box other than the Per Standard or Broken Circle options, the Profile selection turns on and the circle outline disappears.
