Two different views in same drawing

[srosendal]

Hi

I want to do a Drawing of a 3D pipe.

I did the pipe using the toroidal bend function and then
created a new drawing of it showing the rolled pipe. The
thing is, that I also want to show the unrolled pipe in
the same drawing.

Relly hope that someone can help, as I also wants to
repeat this step again, with other sheet-metal-parts

Thx

- By the way, I am using WF4

Create a family table in your part. Add the toroidal bent to the table. Create an instance with the bend suppressed (put N in the column for the bend & row of the instance). Add the instance to the drawing & create a view.

Hi again

fast reply, thx. I am still pretty new to this so your help
is greatly appreciated. It also works fine with the family
table and creating the instances. I though still have some
problems with creating the view in the drawing. I get
prombted about choosing the generic or the instance but I
don't know how to create the additional view after that ..

This is so handy for bent sheet-metal parts drawings. Usually, I'd have the flattened state on one sheet - and convert it to draft entities so that it's not affected by the suppresion of the Flat Wall feature. Then I'd put the bent part on another sheet and dimension it.

Whenever changes to the part were made, the draft entities wouldn't update, and I'd have to redo the drawing. Time and money have both been lost like this.

Cool tip this. I can see it being useful for mirrored features too...
