Un-folded view representation

Un-folded view representation

Un-folded view representation

(OP)
Hi,

How to show a Revolved or Un-folded view in drawing. Please see the attachment for the details.

Thanks and regards
Muzamil

RE: Un-folded view representation

Open the model, go into the view manager and click new section.  Name it, then choose offset as the type.  It will have you define a sketch plane, this plane is the plane that you will sketch the section cut line in.  Go through the prompts then draw a lines for how you want the cut to be made (basically draw the section lines).

Once it is made in the drawing you will need to choose the section you made, then choose the "Full(Unfold}" option.  You can display section lines like usual on the parent view.

RE: Un-folded view representation

In ProE that kind of view is designated an Offset X-sec. Choose that option instead of Planar on the Options menu and Both Sides which will make it cut thru the entire view. Then sketch your Section in ProE.



The Unfolded display can be obtained by choosing Full(Aligned) from Sectioned Area drop down then choosing the unfold axis.

RE: Un-folded view representation

I finished writing my response at 3:30 but then Mozilla Up and Crashed. Though it looks like it's finger is pointing in Google Picasa's direction. Good thing it retained my text or I would've had to recall what I had said and think it up again. Sometimes when I'm done with an answer I'll see a couple of quick shooters have taken out all the Ducks(Questions). I like being thorough

Well maybe you can answer me this?
After getting the FULL(Aligned) view gets created now it's locked as such. This is ProE you have always been able to switch a view type after creation and modify it. I assume if you create an aligned view you'd wan't to keep it as such but shouldn't that decision be mine. I think it's in the ProE constitution.

This may be a bug the + - arrows go away and you can't right click and choose remove.
 was using WF2 for this one but will check 5 to make sure it has this problem.

I think they fixed that bug in the newer versions.  I am running Creo and in my version if you have it set to either Full(Aligned) or Full(Unfold) you can set it back to Full.  Once you go back to Full you then have the option to change to any of the usual choices again.

RE: Un-folded view representation

True, have not seen that problem occur on Wildfire 5. Or CreO -1.0 :)

CreO, different name same functionality.
