Procedure for Creating a Drawing:

Model the Side Lock SL100x137 using the details shown at the end of this document (or on Page 8 if printed).

After entering the name and OK, the New Drawing dialog box appears as below: Pick on the Use template button and select the template you wish to use from the list in the bottom of the box. a-3views_horiz will use a template that automatically creates three views on a A size title block oriented in the horizontal direction.

Result of hitting OK button. Note that this will not work with old models that do not have predefined views called FRONT, TOP and RIGHT.

To add a title block, select Sheets Format Add/Replace and select the format you want. a_horiz_English is an A size title block, oriented in the horizontal direction assuming English units.

Notice that the title block is filled in automatically, as a function of parameter information contained in the model. You can now remove (Views Delete views) views not needed (for this sample exercise the right side and top views). Add the bottom view. To add the projected view, select Add View. Notice that the View Type menus appear as shown earlier, except that Projection is highlighted instead of General. Select Done and simply select a point under the front view to create the bottom view. At this point the screen appears like this.

Change the scale of the views. Select Modify from the Detail Menu and pick on the Scale: 0.500 located at the lower left corner of the drawing. Change this to 1.0. Move the front view up. Select View Move View, select the view you want and pick a new location. Add in the isometric view. Select View Add View, select General, Scale, type in the scale, OK button for Orientation, Done. Place this view in the upper right corner as shown.

Move dimensions to another view and adjust the witness lines. Under the Detail Menu, select Switch View. Under the Detail Menu, select Move Clip (The example below shows the width dimension of 1.000 and 1.500 have been moved from the front view to the bottom view and clipped.):

Erase unnecessary dimensions and centerlines, move dimensions, clip witness lines, adjust arrows, and turn crowded arrows/witness lines off for all views. Under the View Menu select: Disp Mode Edge Disp Erase Line (lines showing edges of the relief holes in the notch): Under the Detail Menu select: Show/Erase Erase (.375 counter bore depth and centerlines for fillets and rounds.)
