TechDraw View/en

Description
The View tool adds a representation of one or more objects to a Drawing page. This is the basic building block of the TechDraw module. Most other Views are derived in some way from NewView.

How to use

 * 1) Select one or more objects (Body, App::Part, Part::Feature, Draft object, ... See Notes) 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

Options
None.

Properties

 * : The view's horizontal position on the page. (1)
 * : The view's vertical position on the page. (1)
 * : Prevents Views from being dragged in the Gui when true. The View can still be moved by changing X,Y properties. (1)
 * : Counterclockwise rotation of the View on the page in degrees. (1)
 * : "Document": use the Page's scale setting. "Custom": use a scale unique to this view. "Automatic": fit view to page. (1)
 * : A view will be rendered on the page in Scale:1 ratio to the Source. (1)
 * : Circular arc center mark size adjustment, if enabled.
 * : Always show View Label if true.
 * : Optional short text caption.
 * : Links to the Drawable Objects to be depicted
 * : A vector representing the viewing direction. Common Directions are Front: (0,-1,0), Top: (0,0,1), Right: (1,0,0), Axo: (1,1,1). (1)
 * : True for perspective projection, false for orthogonal projection.
 * : Distance from camera to projection plane for perspective projections.  Needs to be adjusted to fit the object. Too far and the perspective is lost, too close and the object is distorted.
 * : If true, TechDraw will use a polygon approximation to calculate drawing geometry. If false, TechDraw will use a precision algorithm.  See Notes.
 * : Visible Smooth lines on/off.
 * : Visible Seam lines on/off.
 * : Visible Isometric(u,v) lines on/off.
 * : Hidden lines on/off.
 * : Hidden Smooth lines on/off.
 * : Hidden Seam lines on/off.
 * : Hidden Isometric(u,v) lines on/off.
 * : Number of Isometric(u,v) lines to draw on each face.
 * : The thickness of visible lines. See Line Groups.
 * : The thickness of hidden lines, if enabled.
 * : The thickness of isometric(u,v) surface lines and Dimension lines.
 * : not implemented yet.
 * : Circle/arc center marks on/off.
 * : Show a horizontal centerline through view.
 * : Show a vertical centerline through view.
 * : Show/hide section line if applicable.

(1) these properties are common to all View types.

Scripting
Views can be added to Pages using Python.
