Outline of a Detail View
Outline of a Detail View
(OP)
Quick question:
How do I show the view boundary of a rectangular detail view? A circular detail view shows a phamtom-font boundary, whereas a rectangular one shows none.
I am running NX-6.
Thanks for your reply(s)..tk

As soon as that was complete, the "rectangle" in the parent view took the shape of the break-line/detail geometry in the detail view. Not archaic. NEAT! thanks for the feedback..tk

How to clip the DETAIL view to an odd or irregular shape to create an irregular shaped border.
SOLUTION/WORKAROUND
-------------------
1. With the cursor hovered over the DETAIL view, 'MouseButton3(MB3)-->Expand'.
NOTE: If the 'Expand' option is missing under MB3, perform first a 'MB3-->Convert to Independent Detail'.
2. Use Basic Curves to draw the shape of the desired border.
NOTE: If Basic Curves is not available in the 'Insert' menu, customize the toolbar to add it.
3. When finished drawing the shape needed, hover the cursor over the view border, 'MB3-->Expand' to UnExpand the view.
4. Hover the cursor over the DETAIL view border, ‘MB3-->View Boundary’.
5. Select the ‘Break Line/Detail’ option.
6. Select the closed boundary that is desired.
NOTE: If the boundary created in step 2 is not selectable because it is outside the current border, toggle the option to 'Manual Rectangle', then create a large rectangle around the DETAIL view to reveal the desired border. Then, change the option back to ‘Break Line/Detail’ and select the desired closed boundary.
7. Select 'Apply' on the View Boundary dialog.
8. (optional) If the same border geometry is desired on the parent as created on the DETAIL view, toggle the 'Label on Parent' to 'Boundary'.
This should apply the shape of the DETAIL view boundary to the parent view.
9. OK the View Boundary dialog.
Thank you...
Using NX 8 and TC9.1
