Another way to create drawing views is to drag a model onto a drawing sheet. When you do this, the View Wizard command 
runs automatically to create the drawing views. This produces a standard drawing view based on the type of model. The view orientation of the first view placed is shown in the following table.
|
This model type |
Produces this view orientation for the first view |
|
Part |
Front view |
|
Sheet metal (as modeled) |
Front view |
|
Sheet metal (flattened) |
Top view |
|
Assembly |
Isometric view |
|
Weldment (.pwd) |
Isometric |
Example:
The first view placed in an assembly model is an isometric view. After placing the first view, you can create additional views from the primary view by moving the cursor and clicking to place each one.
This workflow is controlled by the option, Use Drawing View Wizard when models are dragged onto the drawing sheet, which is located on the Drawing View Wizard tab in the Solid Edge Options dialog box.
Note:
Selecting this option is equivalent to pressing Shift while you drag a model onto the sheet.
When this option is deselected and you drag a model onto the sheet, a fixed set of drawing view orientations is placed on the sheet all at once.
Example:
If you drag a part or sheet metal model onto the sheet, a standard set of views is generated and placed.
