Copyright Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. 364 AutoCAD and Its Applications—Advanced rectangular detail boundary is created in the same manner. After locating the view, you can select an option or press [Enter] to exit the command. You can adjust options using the Detail View Creation contextual ribbon tab. You can also use dynamic input or the command line. The Hidden Lines, Scale, Visibility, and Move options are the same as those previ- ously discussed for section views. The Model Edge option is used to adjust the edges of the detail view and set border display and leader options. See Figure 14-22. The Smooth option creates a smooth edge for the view. This is the default option. The Smooth with Border option creates a smooth edge for the view and draws a circular or rectangular border, depending on the type of boundary specifi ed. The Smooth with Connection Line option creates a smooth edge, draws a circular or rectangular border, and attaches a leader from the detail symbol in the parent view to the detail view. The Jagged option creates the view with a jagged edge. With this option, no border is displayed and the view does not have a leader attached. The Annotation option allows you to adjust the view identifi er and specify whether a view label is shown. Once created, detail views can be edited by editing the detail boundary or detail identifi er. To edit the detail boundary, select the boundary and hover over one of the four boundary grips to display a shortcut menu. The options allow you to stretch the boundary and change the boundary type to circular or rectangular. Hovering over the detail identifi er grip allows you to move the identifi er or reset the identifi er to the initial position. You can also edit a detail view by using the VIEWEDIT command or by selecting the view to display grips. A detail view has a base grip providing access to the stan- dard grip editing options and a parameter grip for changing the scale. The detail view label is an mtext object. It can be moved by selecting the label and then selecting the base grip. Top View Front View Detail View Side View Rectangular detail boundary Figure 14-21.
