#How to rotate drawing in viewport full#
To use the full capability of 3D Drawing View, reinsert the view directly from the View Palette or Model View commands. This is because 3D Drawing View is not compatible with projected drawing views, even if the projected view represents a standard orientation. While first getting familiar with 3D Drawing View, you may be presented with a notification stating that you cannot save the drawing view in its new orientation (though you can still temporarily rotate/view the model in 3D). The remaining tools in the toolbar allow for zooming, rotation, and panning of the drawing view, but be aware that only rotation can be saved as part of the new view orientation (any other adjustments are simply cancelled upon confirmation).ģD drawing view toolbar Complications With 3D Drawing View The standard view orientations do support annotations. The View Orientation drop down can be used to access any of the standard view orientations (front, top, etc.) or any saved views. The Save command saves the current orientation as a custom view for future reference, similar to the New View command (linked above). While Rotate is the most commonly used tool here, there are a handful of other tools in this command as well – the green check mark and red X will confirm or cancel any adjustments, as expected.
Here, we show the activation of 3D Drawing View in the front view of a simple part to make a slight rotation (notice how the existing dimensions are lost once the command is confirmed – canceling the change instead would keep these annotations): A toolbar will appear over the drawing view, allowing you to make dynamic adjustments. To use 3D Drawing View, simply click the command on the heads-up toolbar, and then (if not already pre-selected) select the drawing view which you’d like to rotate. In most cases, this tool should only be used with drawing views that do not have any annotations attached to them. Additionally, any existing annotations within the drawing view will be lost if the adjustment is confirmed. It should first be noted that using this tool may result in drawing views with imprecise orientations, which will likely prevent you from adding dimensions/annotations to the view.

For a quick 3D adjustment to a drawing view, I often prefer the 3D Drawing View command. While it’s certainly possible to create custom drawing views through tools such as Relative View and New View (saved views from the part/assembly environment), these options require more time and thought.
When creating primary drawing views, we’re typically stuck with the standard orientations available in the View Palette or Model View command. In this example, we’ll be using the part shown below:ĬAD model ready for documentation Standard Orientations It allows you to make dynamic adjustments to standard drawing views to achieve the perfect orientation, select an obscured edge for the depth of a Broken-out View, or simply view the model in 3D temporarily. In this quick tutorial, we’ll show you a tool you may have never seen before. Achieving the perfect orientation in a SOLIDWORKS drawing view can be a challenge, especially for models with highly organic geometry.
