Dead views in installation drawing
Dead views in installation drawing
(OP)
Hello,
Maybe a basic question for you experts but,
I have an installation drawing created by using a number of models that are nolonger attached to the drawing. All views are transformed to curves. No associativity. Dead views.
Question 1: How do I create this kind of views? Views that remain when the model is not present. In Catis V4 I used Space to draw.
Question 2: How do I re-attach a model to the drawing to be able to create more views?
Thanks,
/Fredrik

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Yes, we use Master Model.
I tried to add components to the drawing file but got an error message. I will try again and see. What is the command called that extracts the edges?

The only thing that I can think of because I haven't tried it is that the behaviour may differ if you're using a faceted representation as the basis for you view instead of the solid geometry. To set this properly may depend on both having the correct reference set displayed and the correct settings as to how the view was added under the style settings.
