Creating Multi-Plane Section Views from a 3D Tolerancing & Annotation View or Capture

You can create an offset or aligned multi-plane section view associative to an existing 3D Tolerancing & Annotation multi-plane section view, or to a 3D Tolerancing & Annotation capture associated to a multi-plane section view.

Before you begin:
  • Open a 3D shape representation containing a 2D layout with a front view, and containing at least one multi-plane section view created in 3D Tolerancing & Annotation, and possibly one 3D Tolerancing & Annotation capture associated to a multi-plane section view.
  • From the Compass, click 2D Layout for 3D Design.

  1. From the View Layout section of the action bar, click View From Reference .
  2. Perform either of the following operations:
    • Select the 3D Tolerancing & Annotation multi-plane section view.
    • Select the 3D Tolerancing & Annotation capture associated to a multi-plane section view.

    Important: You can select the following types of 3D Tolerancing & Annotation multi-plane section views or captures associated with a multi-plane section view:
    • Offset section view
    • Offset section cut
    • Aligned section view
    • Aligned section cut

    The Tools Palette automatically disappears, as the views are considered to be fully defined by their reference 3D Tolerancing & Annotation multi-plane section views in naming, type, orientation and scaling.

    A preview of the created 2DL multi-plane section view is displayed under the pointer and moves along with it.

  3. Click in the sheet to position the view. In case you have selected several multi-plane section views, click in the sheet consecutively as required to position all the 2D Layout views.
    The multi-plane section view, associative to the 3D Tolerancing & Annotation multi-plane section view, is created and is represented in the specification tree along with its sub-views.
  4. Optional: If a message box is displayed, prompting you to confirm the creation of a callout, click OK and select a suitable view for callout creation. For more information, see About View Callouts.

    The multi-plane view is created along with its callout.

    Notes:
    • When selecting a capture, 3D Tolerancing & Annotation annotations are added in sub-view's filters. Furthermore, the 3D Tolerancing & Annotation annotation set is added in the section view's filter (it is therefore invisible in the clipped background).
    • When selecting an 3D Tolerancing & Annotation view, by default, annotations are not displayed. You need to add them manually in the sub-view's filters.
  5. To modify the 3D Tolerancing & Annotation multi-plane section profile, go to the 3D window and modify it.
  6. In the 2D Layout window, click Update .
    The view is updated accordingly.
    Note: If the 3D Tolerancing & Annotation reference is isolated or deleted, the 2DL section view is associated to its own 2DL section profile.
