Textbook Isometric View

[jelston]

Anyone know how to set up a "textbook" isometric view in Pro/E?

Jelston,


The best method I have found is the following....


In your assy/part start with the Reorient View icon. Once it opens the orientation panel (see below) choose theFRONT View from the SAVED VIEW menu and SET that view (this should set up one of the orthogonal views).Then choose Dynamic Orient from the 'TYPE' menu. In the 'Spin' menu you need to adjust the Hor. (H)& Vert. (V) parameters. (I always do this in 30 degree blocks and generally go for V (first) +30 and then H +30. Once you have developed a view you are happy with save it, with a new name, in theSAVED VIEW menu. You can now insert this true iso view into your drawing

Prohammy,


This is exactly what i tried but my "front line" should be horizontal and it's not.


EDIT:


Actually my front line should be VERTICAL.

The "textboox" isometric view would be accoplished by FIRST rotating V by 45 deg and then H by 35.264 deg. Save that asnew view and you are all set.


I edited my config.pro file so that this is my default view.

Gasp!!!


How?

 

[jelston]

Oh yeah, that was the snizzle!

 

[Rbrgr83]

You just pimped your ProE!

Still having problems with you "front line"?

 

[jelston]

no, but how do you set it as a config option?

 

[telecomguy]

Haven't done it myself, but take a look at the 'orientation' and the 'x_angle' config options.

Yes, "orientation" is the one you want. It should have an isometric already setup.


If not, there is an option for User_Default. This is the thing that utilizes "x-angle" and "y_angle".
