Creating a Projection View

You can create projection views on the sheet relative to the front view previously generated.

Projection views are views conceived to be drawn or projected onto planes known as projection planes. A transparent plane or pane of glass representing a projection plane is located parallel to the front surfaces of the part.


Before you begin: Open a drawing representation.
