projected view scale updation according to the base view in nx drafting

projected view scale updation according to the base view in nx drafting

projected view scale updation according to the base view in nx drafting

(OP)
Hi,

Am using NX 9, i have a drawing with 3 views, 1 is a base view and remaining are projected views. When am changing the scale in Base view its not updating the scale of projected views.

Can someone help me to update the projected view scales based on the Base View.

Regards

Manikanda

RE: projected view scale updation according to the base view in nx drafting

While a 'Projected View' will inherit the scale of the 'Base View' when creating the views, there is NO associative relationship between the views once they have been placed on the Drawing. If you change the scale of the 'Base View' you'll need to manually change the scale of the 'Projected Views' yourself. Now keep in mind that you can select all the views, 'Base' and 'Projected', at one time and change the scale for all of them in one step if you so desire. Note that NX has always behaved in this manner and there are no plans at the moment to change this behavior.

Just select all of the views, place your cursor over the highlighted edge of one of them, press MB3 and select the 'Settings' option. When the dialog comes-up, select Common -> General, select the desired scale in the 'Settings' section of the dialog and then hit OK.

You can also edit the sheet scale and all the views will update to match.
