I’d like a way to set a drawing style view to automatically create an isometric view of an assembly without the user adjusting the UCS.
So in essence the drawing style could use the connection frames (Joint box) vertices to automatically set the view as isometric without user input (please see image #1).
Numbered vertices 1-8. Green line connects V1 to V8
If there was an option in the DSM under “View direction on object” (Image #2) to look positively down across corner vertices you could automatically create an isometric view!
In image #1 the green line connecting vertex 1 and vertex 8 could be the positive Z axis of the view.
DSM option for vertices
As of right now I understand there is no way to get an automatic isometric view of an assembly without user input.
I have a style set up that works (image #3) but I have to:
1.) set SE view on the view cube
2.)then UCS set to screen
3.)then run the drawing style.
While this is fine it is NOT automatic and cost me department valuable time.
We can never truly automate an assembly set of drawings. We have to do a few drawings and then switch the ucs and do a few more etc etc.
To truly automate this (set it and forget it) something like this would be required.
Please consider this to allow your customers to make fully automatic isometric assembly details.
