Description
The DraftView tool inserts a view of a selected Part-based or Group object into a drawing page. Unlike the standard View tool, views created with this tool are handled by the Draft Workbench, and specially designed for showing 2D objects. See Notes.



How to use

 * 1) Select a draft object in the 3D view or in the tree
 * 2) If you have multiple drawing pages in your document, you will need to select the desired page in the tree.
 * 3) Press the  button
 * 4) A view of the draft object will appear on the page.

Options

 * Creating a Draft View of a group will recursively handle all the objects found into that group and in its subgroups. The View is updated automatically when the contents of the group changes
 * There is no hidden line removal. Each face found in the handled object(s) will simply be projected along the Direction vector, no specific action is taken when faces overlap
 * The Draft View also supports all Draft objects that are not Part-based, such as dimensions and texts
 * Color, line width and line pattern can be specified in the properties. Line patterns can be fine-tuned by directly giving a stroke-dasharray value, such as 3,5
 * Projected faces are filled with the face color

Properties

 * : The draft object to be displayed
 * : The width of the lines, independently of the scale
 * : The size of all texts appearing in this view (texts and dimensions)
 * : The projection direction to use
 * : The color of lines
 * : A line style to use for this view. Can be Solid, Dashed, Dashdot, Dot or a SVG line pattern like 0.20,0.20
 * : The spacing to use between lines of texts for multiline texts

Note: DraftView inherits all applicable basic View properties.

Scripting
DraftViews can be added to Pages using Python.
