Want 3rd Angle view, keep getting 1st Angle views

rick.glesner — Mon, 08 Mar 2021 16:42:39 GMT

Hi, I have a ISO A2 that I want to use with 3rd angle views. As you can see from my little video that I have tried to set/check preferences to be 3rd angle, but the drawing sheet is determined to do 1st angle, what have I not checked, set, or is this a bug?

Your video did not make it to your post. Also please attach your Fusion 360 model so the forum users can try it from themselves. If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section of a forum post to attach it.

I attached it through the pull down tab...this is quite annoying, it took for ever to upload and prepare also. The video is up in my "area", and there isn't a place to drag and drop from. How do I link the uploaded video to a place you can see it. I've had this problem before and it seems I'm just to dumb to figure this out. Orbital mechanics is easier!

It still is not attached. I would suggest you just attach the URL address if you cannot get it to attach. Please attach your model also, that will help a lot to answer your question.

Full instructions:

On the Screencast application click on the three dots and select Manage Screencasts.

When the web page opens, log into your Autodesk Account and you will see a list of all your Screencast. Select the three dots at the end of the one you want.

The from the context menu, select Copy URL and paste that into your forum post as a link.

That "Pending" means nothing to you, that is for Autodesk. Just follow the process and it will be fine.

I am embedding your Screencast for you so others can expand it's size. As I have asked twice now, we really need your model to make sure of your settings.

I set the same Preferences you have and created a drawing. I get the correct results. We need your model! How do you expect us to know what the third angle of your model is if we do not have it? We cannot tell from your Screencast.

OK...interesting concept the "3rd angle" of my model? To my knowledge 1st and 3rd angle only refers to view orientation in the drawing environment. How do I get the assembly to you? Invite you? Download and attach? Link?

Below is the classic illustration that you will find on most title blocks to distinguish if the drawing is First or Third angle projection. I have created your model as a ASME third angle projection using the same settings you have in Preferences using a Screencast.

I KNOW all of this, I'm using an ISO (just because I'm that way), and I've set it up to say, 3rd angle under preferences...your are not getting it. Can you or can you not over ride the view type? Or is that just another F360 joke, like auxiliary views?

Re: Want 3rd Angle view, keep getting 1st Angle views

jhackney1972 — Tue, 09 Mar 2021 00:04:32 GMT

You can override the view type, as you have set in your Preferences, and I have proved that you can and are getting Third Angle Projection views in your drawing and use metric dimensions. You originally asked for third angle views and I proved you are getting them in my Screencast. If you still say the views I created in my Screencast are not Third Angle projections, then you need to go back and study up on what the two types of projections are. By the way, you do not have to change your Preferences to get Metric dimensions in a ASME third angle projection drawing, you can do it when creating the drawing, just change the Standard to ASME. This is a one shot not permanent like it is from the Preferences. By the way, you can created Auxiliary Views in Fusion 360 drawings, it is not on the tool bar, but you can do it.

Congratulations you really managed to screw this up, and doubting my drafting education will not win you any points...all I want is 3rd angle views in an ISO template...so can I have it or not? So if I can't why is it in preferences? Why isn't that desired configuration 1st or 3rd in the document settings? Every time I find a situation where I'd like to get some direction from Mount Olympus I find I get a bunch of … fill in your favorite adjective ... so prove to me your actually listening, or reading and tell me if F360 in it's ISO template can do 3rd angle?

Hi @rick.glesner

Yes, you can set up an ISO template that uses 3rd angle projection. We don't currently support changing a drawing from 1st to 3rd angle projection.

You need to create a new Template that uses both ISO and has 3rd angle projection. In this quick silent video, I show the steps. The first part is to set your document settings up to use ISO and 3rd angle, then create a new drawing, save this file. Now make edits to the title block as needed (not shown in the video for the sake of brevity). Next, save this drawing as an F2T, this will now be available as a template.
