Copyright Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Chapter 14 Model Documentation, Analysis, and File Exchange 363 button opens the Modify Detail View Style dialog box for the selected style. The tabs in the New Detail View Style dialog box or the Modify Detail View Style dialog box are used to make settings for the detail identifi er, detail boundary, and detail view label. These tabs are shown in Figure 14-20. As with other types of styles, develop standards for detail views in accordance with company or industry standards. Creating a Detail View Creating a detail view is similar to creating a section view. To create a detail view, select the VIEWDETAIL command and then select the parent view. The default method for creating the view is to create a circular detail boundary. Refer to Figure 14-19. This is the preferred display for most detail views. You can change the boundary type to rect- angular using the Boundary option. With the Rectangular option, a rectangular detail boundary is drawn and the detail view has a rectangular outline. See Figure 14-21. Selecting one of the options from the Detail drop-down list in the Create View panel of the Layout tab on the ribbon begins the command and sets the appropriate boundary type. If you are creating a circular detail boundary, select the parent view and then pick a point to specify the center of the view. At the next prompt, drag the cursor or enter a value to set the size of the boundary. Then, pick a point to locate the view.
