Copyright Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Chapter 14 Model Documentation, Analysis, and File Exchange 345 and other drawing view commands are accessed from the Layout tab of the ribbon. See Figure 14-1. Pick the dialog box launcher button at the lower-right corner of the Styles and Standards panel to initiate the VIEWSTD command. This opens the Drafting Standard dialog box, Figure 14-2. The options in the Projection type area determine the type of projection used for new drawing views. By default, the Third angle button is selected. If the First angle button is selected, views are created using fi rst-angle projection. Select this option to create views in accordance with ISO standards. The options in the Thread style area determine the way threaded ends are shown in section views and the type of circular thread representation used for views showing threaded features. The thread repre- sentation options are used when creating views from Autodesk Inventor models or imported models containing threaded features. The options in the Shading/Preview area of the Drafting Standard dialog box deter- mine the type of preview that appears when placing a drawing view. When Shaded is selected in the Preview type drop-down list, a shaded view appears. This is the default option. This option provides a preview image of the view orientation before the view is placed. When the Bounding box option is selected, a preview box repre- senting the extents of the view appears. However, no preview image is displayed. The Shaded view quality option is set to 100 dpi by default. A higher setting will provide better resolution quality when a shaded preview is displayed. However, for all prac- tical purposes, a setting of 150 dpi or higher does not produce a dramatic difference in resolution quality. Figure 14-1.
