Create Drawing View Dialog Box (AutoCAD Mechanical Toolset)

Use this dialog box to specify drawing views you create using the AMDWGVIEW command.

Note: Inventor Link is available only on 64-bit systems. Note that it is not installed by default.

View Type Specifies the type of view to create.
	Base Creates the first drawing view of a part according to the orientation you select.
	Multiple Creates multiple projected views of a parent view without returning to the dialog box. Places ortho and iso views as desired.
	Ortho Generates an orthographic projection view based upon an existing view. Requires a parent view, a project direction, and the view placement location.
	Auxiliary Creates an auxiliary view based on an existing view of a part. Requires a parent view, two points to specify a projection direction, and the placement location.
	Iso Creates a view of the parent view using a front/left, front/right, back/left, or back/right display.
	Detail Creates an enlarged view of a portion of the parent view. You can create a non-rectangular viewport to define the view portion of the parent view.
	Broken Creates a broken view based on an existing view of an elongated part.
Data Set Specifies the data set to use for the new view.
	Active Part Uses the active part for the view.
	Scene Uses a selected scene for the view.
	Select Uses selected objects for the view. Note: Only object selection is supported on drawing files linked to Autodesk Inventor documents.
	Group Uses a specified group of objects. This option is only available if you have defined a group of objects in the drawing.
Layout Places the view on the selected layout.
Orientation Selects the orientation for the drawing view.
Properties Controls view properties.
	Scale Sets the scale for the view.
	Relative to Parent Specifies whether the view is scaled relative to its parent view.
	Detail Symbol Controls the character labels for details and section views.
	Label Pattern Names a view according to a pattern controlled by symbol standards. The pattern uses the detail label <Detail_Label> and the detail scale <Detail_Scale> as variables in the pattern that serves as the view's name.
	Independent View Display This option is only available when the View Type is set to Detail. Makes the display properties of the detail view independent of the parent view.
Options Opens the Options dialog box where you can set options for your drawing views. See the OPTIONS command for more information.
Hidden Lines Tab Controls the settings for hidden lines in drawing views.
	Calculate Hidden Lines Turns on the Calculate Hidden Line option. If off, hidden lines are not calculated or displayed in the view.
	Display Hidden Lines Displays hidden lines in the view.
	Display Tangencies Displays tangent silhouettes in the view.
	Remove Coincident Edges Removes duplicate edges in the view.
	Display Interference Edges Calculates and displays the resulting edge when mating parts interfere in an assembly.
	Display As Controls the display of hidden edges when the Calculate Hidden Lines option is disabled.
Section Tab Controls the settings for section views.
	Type Controls the type of section view.
		None Does not create a section view.
		Full Creates a full section view for base, auxiliary, broken, and orthographic views.
		Half Creates a half section view through a work plane or work point.
		Offset Creates an offset section view from base, orthographic, broken, or auxiliary views.
		Aligned Creates an aligned section view from base, orthographic, or auxiliary views.
		Breakout Creates a breakout section view from base, orthographic, or auxiliary views.
		Radial Creates a radial section view from base, orthographic, or auxiliary views.
		True Represents a projected view of the part with all its details, as it is generated in Mechanical Desktop.
		Standard Represents a sectional view of the part with its details displayed.
		Simplified Represents a simplified sectional view of the part without the details.
	Label Specifies the label for the section view.
	Symbol Specifies the symbol to use for section views.
	Hatch Specifies whether a section view is hatched.
	Pattern Sets the hatch pattern and parameters for a section view. Opens the AutoCAD Hatch Patterns dialog box.
	Hide Obscured Hatch Hides hatch patterns normally out of view or obscured.
Standard Part Tab Controls the representation of a part in the drawing view.
	2D Representation Sets 2D representation for standard 3D parts in the drawing view. This does not change the part in any way.
