Drawing Issue

[SlawsonEngineering]

When I create a drawing for a component that is at a different orientation that the top level assembly, the views don't show correctly in the component drawing.  Is there a way around this?

Hi SlawsonEngineering,

You can try this workaround - 

1. In the design, use "Look At" (available in the bottom toolbar) then select the face of the component you want a drawing of.  You'll now be looking at that face head on.

2. Create a new named view of that orientation (Right-click Named Views in the browser) 

3. Now when you create a drawing and place the base view for component, select the corresponding named view as the Orientation in the Drawing View dialog.

Hope this works for you.

Thanks,

Niti

Thanks.  This work around should work for me now.  Will this be fixed in future releases?
