TechDraw NewProjGroup

Description
The ProjectionGroup tool creates multiple orthographic projections (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiview_orthographic_projection) of one or more 3D objects (Body or Part). Optionally, isometric views of the 4 front corners can be included. Note that if you only want to produce a single View, there is no advantage in using ProjectionGroup to do so, and in fact creating the View in Projection Group may take considerably longer than the equivalent basic View.

How to use

 * 1) Select one or more Body and/or Part objects in the 3D window or tree.
 * 2) If you have multiple drawing pages in your document, you will also need to select the desired page in the tree.
 * 3) Press the  button
 * 4) A dialog will open in which you can select which views should appear in the group, the group's scale and other parameters.
 * 5) You can move the group as a whole by dragging the central view.  You can also move individual views by dragging.



Options
None.

Properties

 * : The central view in the group. Normally the Front view.
 * : "First Angle" or Third Angle".
 * : If true, space out individual views automatically. Use false to position manually.
 * : Horizontal space between views when automatically positioned.
 * : Vertical space between views when automatically positioned.

Note: The ProjectionGroup as a whole inherits X,Y,ScaleType,Scale and Rotation from the basic View. Note: Individual Views within the group inherit all part view properties, but the ProjectionGroup object controls the scale of all its member Views.

Scripting
ProjGroups can be added to Pages using Python.
