You can use the Drawing View Layout options to choose the primary view plus additional orthographic views that are based on the primary view.

Primary View

Specifies the view orientation for the initial (primary) drawing view.

Note:

The primary view names in the list consist of default Solid Edge view names, views defined in the Custom Orientation dialog box, and user-defined Named Views created using the View Orientation command in the Part, Sheet Metal, and Assembly environments.

For more information, see Save a new named view.

Custom

Displays the Custom Orientation dialog box. You can use the view manipulation options in the Custom Orientation window to reorient the primary view of the 3D part before you create drawing views, and to create a perspective view.

Drawing View Layout

You can use the eight buttons arranged around the perimeter of the dialog box to specify orthographic (principal) and pictorial views of the model. The views that are available for selection are based on the orientation you select from the Primary View list.

• If you select an orthographic (right, left, top, bottom) or user-defined primary view, then you can select additional views to place on the drawing sheet along with the initial view by selecting one or more buttons representing the view orientations.

• If you select a pictorial view (dimetric, iso, trimetric) as the primary view, then you cannot add other views to the drawing view layout until you place the initial view.

Note:

The order in which the view orientation buttons are arranged in the dialog box is based on whether you are using first-angle projection or third-angle projection.
