SOLDRAW (Command)

Generates profiles and sections in layout viewports created with SOLVIEW.

Find

After using SOLVIEW, visible and hidden lines representing the silhouette and edges of solids in the viewport are created and then projected to a plane perpendicular to the viewing direction.

To undo a viewport drawn by SOLDRAW, you must use the Back option of UNDO.

Note: Do not place permanent drawing information on the view name-VIS, view name-HID, and view name-HAT layers. The information stored on these layers is deleted and updated when SOLDRAW is run.

The following prompts are displayed.

Select viewports to draw

Specifies a layout viewport that has been created using SOLVIEW.

Visible and hidden lines representing the silhouette and edges of solids in the viewport are created and then projected to a plane perpendicular to the viewing direction. Silhouettes and edges are generated for all solids and portions of solids behind the cutting plane. For sectional views, cross-hatching is created using the current values of the HPNAME, HPSCALE, and HPANG system variables.

Select objects

Selects the viewports to be drawn.

Any existing profiles and sections in the selected viewport are deleted, and new ones are generated. All layers, except those required to display the profile or section, are frozen in each viewport.

Note: SOLDRAW is defined by the acsolids.arx application and is intended to be used only interactively. For more information, see Externally Defined Commands.
