>> This is an illustration of how you use solview
and soldraw combination in order
to create multi-views from a 3-D model.
The instructions are given
in the lab number 14 handout, page 3.
Okay. The first few things that you need
to consider are number one, make sure that your UCS is
in the front view and that the hidden linetype is loaded.
So starting from this 3-D model,
the way you reposition your UCS is by going
to named UCS orthographic.
Make sure that front is set as the current.
And then to make sure that the hidden linetype is loaded,
go to layers.
Let's open our layers.
And if you click on the linetype for any of them,
make sure that hidden is loaded.
If it's not, click on load.
Since we have it, I'm going to proceed now.
So go to layout.
Click on the layout tab and then erase the port that's currently
being shown because that's not what I want.
So after you erase that, in the command line just type solview.
Press enter.
And then since we position our UCS in the front view,
I'll just select UCS then current.
Okay. And then it asks me to indicate the view scale.
I'm going to assume it's going to fit in one to one scale.
And now specify view center.
The front view is somewhere here.
I just keep clicking until I'm happy
with the position of the front view.
Let's say, okay.
Once I'm happy with it, I press enter.
And then it says specify first corner of the viewport.
So I'll just create a viewport around this view.
Okay. That's the viewport.
And then enter the name.
I'll enter front as the name.
Okay. That takes care of the front view.
Now, to do another view, I'll click on ortho.
I'm going to project the front view perpendicular first
to the top view.
So I'll click on the top here.
And I would specify the view center.
I will click on the approximate location of the top view.
When I'm happy with the position, press enter.
And then create a viewport around it right away.
Do not make the mistake of pressing escape anytime
when you're doing this because it will mess up your drawing.
You have to start from scratch so do not press escape.
Just make sure you press enter.
Solview, enter view name.
This is the top, enter.
And then do another ortho on the right plane here.
And then position the right side view.
When you're happy with the position, press enter again,
not escape, and then create a viewport around it.
And then it asks for the name again.
And just type right, enter.
Now, when you're done with the three views,
do not press escape.
Press enter to get out of solview.
And then to show the correct visibility,
type soldraw, enter.
And then just select the viewports of the three views
that you want to soldraw and press enter.
It should automatically show the correct visibility.
And that should be it.
You're now ready to add dimension
in the layout if you want.
