Algorithm of Creating 2D Projection

In order to create a 2D projection you have to perform following steps:

1.Select a type of projection.

2.Define the projecting direction (this step might be either mandatory or optional, depending on the type of projection)
Projecting direction is defined in the following ways:

•For standard views (including ones created as a part of three-view or arbitrary set)
Direction is defined automatically by the view itself, i.e. depends on the type of the view.

•For sections (except local)
You have to select a 3D section or cutting line, that will define the direction.

•For arrow view
You have to select a view arrow, that will define the direction.

•For local section view or projection by existing projection
You have to select a source projection, that will define the direction.

•For projection to workplane
You have to select a workplane, that will define the direction.

•For arbitrary view
You have to define the direction manually, using controls described in the Arbitrary view section.

3.Select a view style (optional step).

4.Define the position of projection on drawing (optional step).

5.Define the angle and scale of projection (optional step).

6.Select elements of the 3D model to be projected (optional step).

7.Define parameters of projection's lines (optional step).

8.Define parameters of sections (optional step available not only for sections and local section views, but also for applying sections to projections of other types).

9.Add breaks and define their parameters (optional step).

10.Crop the projection (optional step).

11.Define additional parameters and options (optional step).

12.Confirm the input (mandatory step).
As in any 3D command, the element creation must be confirmed upon competing definition of all parameters. This step is possible, when the option becomes accessible in the automenu:
