- When working in a SOLIDWORKS drawings,
sometimes creating creating a projected view,
is the only way that you can properly
convey your design intent to fabricators,
or other members of your team.
So here we are going to walk through,
how we create various projected views.
I already have a simple front view,
inserted inside of my drawing,
with this selected,
I'm going to go up here and click on projected view.
Now you can see automatically, in the property manager,
on the left,
we get the projected view feature,
and a bunch of options,
which are basically the same ones,
that you have for all other views.
If I come over to the screen and hover around the model,
each time I rotate around it,
I get a different view,
so right here I get top view, an isometric view,
a right view, I could get a bottom view.
I can also get a left view over here.
So basically,
everything in between all the way around.
To insert the view,
I just click on the screen and it's automatically created.
When there are multiple views on the screen,
and you want to create a projected view,
it's going to prompt you to select one.
So another way to do this is to go up to the insert option,
click on the drawing view, select projected,
and now I'm going to select this right view,
and drag to the right, and make another view
showing the other side of the cover.
Once you clicked create that view,
it turns off that function,
so if you want to do another projected view
you going to have to select it again,
and then create that view.
As you can see, it is pretty easy to use,
and if you have to get any weird angle views,
you could see how you could make a couple projected views,
and then maybe do an isometric of one of them,
delete the views you don't need, and create the drawing.
