- [Instructor] So now we've completed our assembly.
We made the modifications, we've constrained
our components, put everything in place,
now we need to make a drawing out of this.
So the easiest way to make a drawing
is to simply have the part or assembly open
that you want to make a drawing from,
then go into file, ew, go into the drawing tab here.
You wanna make sure your units are set correctly.
Pick the file size, or the drawing size, I apologize.
Then make sure you're saving it into the correct folder,
so you just navigate to that folder.
Something else that's important to note
is in NX land, I've talked a little bit about this before,
all part files, everything is a .prt.
Everything is a .prt.
There's no different extension for drawing,
so you have to have some sort of name differentiator
for the drawing somewhere in the name.
It needs to be changed, it has to have it.
You can't get away from it.
Now in this case, I have my set up
so it automatically puts _dwg1.
You may have something set up differently
for where you're located at, your company wide standards,
but in this case for me it's _dwg1.
You'll also look to the bottom,
you'll see this is gonna be a part to create a drawing
of, and this is just taking what I have open
and placing it in there.
If you don't have anything open,
you can go here and select that file
to go directly to at that moment of time.
You'll notice that the drawing sizes here
tells exactly what they are.
Again, these are just templates.
Now when I hit 'OK', what's gonna happen?
Several things.
It's gonna put this assembly in to the drawing file,
and it's gonna ask me to populate a title block again,
this is just a setting I have on my machine
that you may not have at your location, or you may have it.
So you can begin filling in your sell values here,
I'm just gonna close that out.
You'll notice that, as soon as I close that out,
I go into the View Creation Wizard.
That View Creation Wizard,
which is this icon right over here,
allows me to come in and customize
what I'm bringing in as far as into my views.
I can bring an individual components,
I can bring in this case the complete assembly,
I have various options...
Scale, currently I have just auto-fit
and it's gonna scale everything
on the drawing page.
If I go to orientation, this allows me to pick
my dominate or primary view,
so I'm just gonna move this over,
so if I click on one of the other views,
you'll notice that it just basically projects everything
off of that base view.
If I got to layout, I can specify additionally what
views do I want or don't want.
Here I can turn them on, turn them off,
and then I have associated alignments.
If I want these to be aligned associatively,
if I move one view, all of them move
with the one view that I moved.
If I hit finish, see it creates right
the views in, and you notice I can move
the one view and they're attached.
If I move this view, it's attached.
Everything is attached 'cause I have automatic alignment.
Now, you'll notice that I have some centered lines drawn in,
let me go back into the View Creation Wizard just
to talk about some of the other options you have in here.
You'll notice that there's setting as you bring stuff in
you can turn things on and off within those settings,
you'll see the centerlines, I hit 'em on,
so in my views they turned on.
If I hit this settings, you'll see
there's other options in here.
Configuration, tolerance for the model,
hidden line...
Some of these are redundant, and you can go through,
and of course, let me just cancel and cancel.
Make those changes to those views once
the views are created as well.
If you want to, for example, here's my iso view.
Put double click no that iso view, you'll notice
that I get that exact same window.
In this case I'm just gonna go to shading,
and I'm just gonna say fully shaded, select 'Ok',
and now that view is fully shaded.
As you bring things in, or you can modify 'em,
pretty much identical.
Now if I didn't use the View Creation Wizard,
if I just wanted to I could create my own base views.
Let me go ahead and pick this, and pick this, and pick this.
Pick this.
Delete.
I can bring in and use my own base views here
and you'll notice that the view origin,
I can say top, I can scale it, very similar to
the View Creation Wizard, but a lot of times
it's just easier to just bring in the view that you want
just like this.
Once I bring it in...
You'll see there's my settings button other there.
Once I bring it in, write that view down.
Soon as I click, you'll see what it does,
it wants to go into projection views.
It automatically toggles over to projected views.
That's this icon right over here.
It's pretty smart.
Snap, snap.
Just like that.
And then close.
Then I realize well maybe I want that iso view once again.
I can go back to base view, change this to iso metric
and place it.
Just close that out.
Once again, if I double click on that,
the actual frame of the view, it'll take me right back
to the settings of the view.
It doesn't matter how you bring in the views,
whether it's the Creation Wizard or the base view,
all of those basically do exactly the same thing,
it's just automating a process for you.
Once you create the drawing, you bring in your views,
you start putting them right where you want,
the system is pretty smart, it gives you options
for center lines as you can see here on my views,
and basically you start from there.
