Cary OConnor Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Hi All, Is it normally common to create a standard view (T.F.R) group and then change the configuration of one of these views to be different? It seems that if you want a view to have a different configurations, you would create a individual view (General view) or another Standard view set at a different configuration. Is this a correct assumption? Please let me know, Cary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fhunt Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Cary, The initial views are typically of one configuration. When I want to document something about a different configuration, I typically create another view. I seldom change the configuration in one of the initial views. I hope this helps.

Marcus Bertilsson Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 We use this when we have houses for exampel. In the top view we dont want to see the roof but in a side view we will show it. But maybe we can use another general view for that. It is more important to be able to change config for section views! for the same reason as above. / Marcus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas@Solidmakarna Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Those who make step by step drawings for mounting/assemblage also change the configs on views. Create one front view from the first config in the scene. Then CTRL drag the view to make a copy, then change the config. CTRL drag another copy and change config and so on...

Cary OConnor Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 Hi Jonas, In your example, those are still individual view sets (you are making a new set with each copy of the front view - since they are not related). Marcus has one example case which is more of the case I'm after. Thanks Cary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkim522093 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 As far as I know, in mechanical drawing usally, I didn't see the drawing having the views with different configuration in the same drawing. But might be needed for other application such as house and booth design. If I have to do, then I will create one view and then create other view again with different config. (Or maybe I can create all view T.F.R, and then change the config in the view of T by access the properties in right mouse button menu in that view.

mwalls558626 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Cary, I very often do something similar to Marcus also. I will create a normal set of views, and then change one or more of them to a different configuration. A typical example of that for me would be having an "Assembly" of parts that might have some wires going to it, along with the mounting screws etc. The normal views show it in the assembled state, but I will usually take the ISO view, and show it exploded, with a clear view of how the wire connection is done, as well as the various sequence of the hardware used to mount it. This is a very useful way to get assembly views for manufacturing, and minimize how many pages need to be output. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EricFoy Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I agree with everyone. I think there is a valid use case for both scenarios. -$.02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
