Sketch the shape of a detail view.

roblime — Fri, 28 Jan 2022 21:10:40 GMT

I would like to be able to sketch the shape of my detail views. Sometimes a circle is not the best shape for a detail view. Many time I would like to detail the contour of cylinder wall. And, a circle shaped detail takes up too much space on a drawing. I would be nice to pick or draw a pill shaped or a rectangle shaped detail view.

Regards

Hi,

That's a good request. I've logged it as an improvement for the drawings team to consider. (Ref: FDWG-14827)

Best regards,

Hi Phil,

Was there any update on a square / rectangular detail view? I find the circular detail view is very difficult to control and wastes alot of space on the drawing page.

There is a technical limitation blocking rectangular detail views.

There is also a new type of view, "cropped views" that will probably be released* in the coming months that might be useful instead.
