3.1.1.11.3.1.  "2D view" dialog box

Selection and settings within the 2D view window, create the basis for the display of the object in your CAD system.

Dialog window 2D view

Dialog window 2D view

As soon as you click on a view, the 2D derivation of the part is created.

[Note] Note

An exception for Combination views is the option Shaded view. Here the 2D derivation is only created in case of an export to the CAD system. See more under Section 3.1.1.11.3.1.2, “ Combination views ”.

-> Once all settings have been made, click on Transfer to CAD.

The settings area of the dialog page is subdivided as follows:

  • Standard views

  • Combination views

  • Settings / visibility

The individual areas are explained in the following sections.

3.1.1.11.3.1.1.  Standard views

Standard views

Standard views

The following individual views are available:

  • Front

  • Back

  • Right

  • Left

  • Top

  • Bottom

  • Isometric

  • Current view

  • Sectional view

The Derivation view "Line view" is used automatically for the individual views.

Advantage in this mode:

Manual dimensioning is possible. See Section 3.1.1.11.3.1.5, “Add dimensioning in PARTdataManager before the export ”.

Optionally you can derive the current 3D view. See Section 3.1.1.11.3.1.1.1, “ Current view ”.

3.1.1.11.3.1.1.1.  Current view

If you want to import the currently set direction of the coordinate system from the 3D view into the 2D derivation, in the list field select the option Current view.

    Advantage: Optically more attractive than line display

  • Shaded View:

    Shaded view

    Shaded view

    Here a gridded image is displayed, into a 2-D derivation. The derivation is only created if an export to the CAD system follows.

    Advantages:

    • Optically more attractive than line display

    • Very rapid display, also with complex parts

    [Note] Note

    This render mode is also used for creating 3-D datasheets [75] See under Section 3.1.2.1.2.5.3, “Export PDF datasheet ”. The speed factor comes into play here.

3.1.1.11.3.1.2.2.  Scale and Paper formats

For the following views, the display can be exported with a sketch frame or with a sketch frame and integrated BOM-list.

  • 3 views + isometric drawing in frame (ANSI)

  • 3 views + isometric drawing in frame (DIN)

  • 3 views + isometric drawing in frame (JIS)

  • 6 views + isometric drawing in frame (JIS)

  • 3 views + bill of material in frame (ANSI)

  • 3 views + bill of material in frame (DIN)

[Note] Note

Depending on type the respective paper formats are displayed. On this see under Section 3.1.1.11.3.1.2.2.2, “Adjust paper format in 2D view”.

The following adjustments may be made:

See the following sections for more information.

3.1.1.11.3.1.3.  Settings / visibility

Settings / visibility

Settings / visibility

  • Settings / visibility selection dialog

    Activate the desired option using the checkbox.

  • Thick

  • Thin

  • Dashed

  • Dash-dot

  • Threads etc.

  • Dimensioning

  • Hidden

  • Grouped

  • Cutout

  • assembly component

  • Threads etc. and the Dimensioning are highlighted in color.

  • In the Grouped mode, the respective part can at first only be opened collectively after export to your CAD system. In order to be able to address individual lines in parts or individual components in assemblies, you must dissolve the group again.

    [Note] Note

    How the grouping is affected depends on the respective CAD system and/or export mode (with or without interface).

  • assembly component :

    assembly component refers to the preferred hatching direction in assemblies. If activated, then the assembly is treated as component and all parts of the assembly are hatched in the same direction in a cut.

    The difference is especially eye-catching with bearings.

    Normally outer and inner rings are hatched reverse. If the assembly component option is activated, then they are hatched in the same direction.[78]

3.1.1.11.3.1.4.  Alternative 2D size Optimize drawing view on paper size /

  • Optimize drawing view on paper size is a special feature for catalogs with parts which look bad in the 2D derivation due to their proportions.

    This may happen with long cylinders, for example. The 2D derivation would then appear to be more of a line than a cylinder.

  • If the part contains an additional shortened view, the user can select between the standard display and the shortened view by checking the box Optimize drawing view on paper size in the 2D view dialog. Otherwise the checkbox remains inactive.

    [Note] Note

    The attributes remain unchanged.

    "Optimize drawing view on paper size" not activated

    "Optimize drawing view on paper size" not activated

    "Optimize drawing view on paper size" activated

    "Optimize drawing view on paper size" activated

3.1.1.11.3.1.5. Add dimensioning in PARTdataManager before the export

Before you export a 2D derivation into the CAD system, you can add a dimensioning.

Hereto proceed as follows:

  1. Select a standard view such as Front +Z for example.

  2. Click the Dimensioning mode command in the context menu of the view.

    [Note] Note

    A detailed description of the functions in dimensioning mode you can find under Section 3.1.1.11.3.1.5, “Add dimensioning in PARTdataManager before the export ”.

  3. Set the desired dimensioning:

  4. Click on Export to CAD .

  5. The part is transferred to CAD with dimensioning.

3.1.1.11.3.1.6. Transfer special derivations or technical views to CAD system

If customer sided provided you can transfer additional derivations to the CAD system in the Choose view to pass... dialog box (exemplified below "Special5").

Furthermore the technical views are displayed in the dialog box and can also be transferred to the CAD system.

In order to export special derivations to the CAD system, proceed as follows:

  1. Call up PARTdataManager in the CAD system via the PARTsolutions menu -> Insert 2D.

  2. After selection of the desired part click on Export to CAD.

    [Note] Note

    On this please regard the setting options under Section 3.3.9, “"Export to CAD" tabbed page ”.

  3. -> The Choose view to pass... dialog box opens.

  4. Select the special desired view here.

    Derivation (Spezial5 - )

    Derivation (Spezial5 - )

    Technical view (Front view)

    Technical view (Front view)

  5. Confirm via Commit in the dialog box.

  6. -> The special derivation or view is transferred to the CAD system.



[75] For PARTcommunity as well

[76] The possible scales are defined administratively in the configuration file. See Section 1.1.6.7.1, “ 2dscales.cfg - Use scale for 2D view ” in PARTsolutions / PARTcommunity4Enterprise - Administration Manual.

[77] Default values for the paper formats are given per configuration file. See under Section 5.4.4, “ 2D derivation: create own views ” in eCATALOGsolutions Manual.

[78] ISO 8826-1 says, that the general, simplified depiction of bearings has to be performed with hatches in the same direction for all components with the same position number (rolling elements excluded).
