Inventor 2012 Change View Orientation Something New

Autodesk shows once again that they listen to the users of their product.

You can change the orientation of existing drawing views inside of Inventor 2012.

Double-click a view, and in the Drawing View dialog box, click Change View Orientation . Then, in the Custom View window, specify a new view plane.

When you change the orientation of a base view, all dependent child views inherit the new orientation.

Let’s take a look:

In’s and Out’s of View Representations and Using Them Within Drawings

This post will feature working with View Representations inside of Autodesk Inventor.  I take a look at setting them up inside your assembly environment and some of the tips and tricks associated to using them within your drawing environment.  There is a lot of confusion between using level of detail and view representations hopefully this makes the choice a little easier.

Alias Draw Precision

By default the Draw Precision in Alias is set to 0.5. This setting leads to surface edges and curves to appear jagged and can lead a user to interpret good surfaces as having gaps.

To resolve this you can increase the level of precision used to “draw” the objects on screen by increasing the Draw Precision to 1.o. This can be done in the Control Panel. This will smooth out the surface edges and curves to give you a truer representation of your objects.

Update a Drawing Using a Spreadsheet AutoCAD Electrical

Looking at the various sizes that electrical projects can be there is a very simple way to update these projects just using a spreadsheet. What’s nice about the idea is the simple fact all your information can be located in a single place. This is much better than having to search for items from drawing to drawing. Lets take a simple look at the concept.
