Relative to Model View
A Relative to Model View
is an orthographic (front, right, left, top, bottom, and back) view defined
by two orthogonal faces or planes in the model and the specification of
their respective orientations. You can use this view type to set the first
orthographic view in a drawing to a view different than the default.
You can then create additional
orthographic views with the Projected
View tool.
For standard parts and assemblies,
the entire part or assembly is shown in the resulting relative view. For
multibody parts, (such as weldments), only the selected body is used.
To insert a relative view:
Click Relative
View
on the Drawing toolbar, or click Insert, Drawing View,
Relative To Model. The pointer changes to
.
Switch
to a model that is open in another window, or right-click in the graphics
area and select Insert From File
to open a model.
In the PropertyManager,
under Orientation, First,
select an orientation (Front,
Top, Left,
and so on), and select the face or plane for that orientation in the drawing
view.

Under Orientation, Second,
select another orientation, orthogonal to the first, and select another
face or plane for that orientation in the drawing view.

If using
a multibody part, in the PropertyManager, make selections under Scope.

In the
PropertyManager,

If the angle of the face in the model changes,
the views update to maintain the orientation as originally specified.
