new perspective at Solid Works
new perspective at Solid Works
(OP)
I would like to know if I can add a extra perspective at Solid Works. You've got already Isometric,Trimetric en Dimetric, but I would like to add the next perspective: from left to right 30 degre,90 gdegre,60 degre
How can I add this perspective?
How can I add this perspective?






RE: new perspective at Solid Works
You can add any view you like to each model.
Orient the model the way you want, Go to standard view toolbar, view orientation, and name the new view there.
Then, when you get to your drawing, you can place the view with the newly saved orientation.
I have a feeling by the way you ask that you want the view always available. Perhaps other heavy hitters know how to achieve this.

You can achieve your view the way dsgnr1 describes. You will need to manually rotate your model into the desired orientation and save that view orientation so it can be re-used. If you want to have this view available in evey model you will need to create a macro that automatically creates the view orientation you are looking for. Once you create a new model you run the macro and the view orientation will be added.

Add the views to a template and they will be "permanent", as Stefan mentioned.

I updated the macro for my own use to work in SWx2005
Sub main()
Set swApp = CreateObject("SldWorks.Application")
Set Part = swApp.ActiveDoc
pi = 4 * Atn(1)
Z = Tan(30 * pi / 180)
X = Atn(Z / Sqr(-Z * Z + 1))
Y = -45 * pi / 180

Select the SW Isometric view of a part & then try to get back to a regular planar view, using the arrows, to see what I mean.
