Create a detail view and display hidden lines

In this activity, you will learn how to create a detail view and change the style of the views.

Prerequisites

• Activity 3 is complete.

Steps

1. Place a Detail View.

   A detail view is a projected view that shows a specific portion of a view at an enlarged scale.

   1. From the Create Toolbar, select Detail View.

   2. Select the top projected view as the parent view.

   3. Use the snap point on the neck as the center point for the detail boundary (as shown in the image below).

   4. Click again to specify the size of the detail view boundary. Make sure to include the entire small knob in the view boundary (as shown in the image below).

   5. Click to place the view above the section view.

   6. Click OK to generate the detail view.

2. Change the style of the Top Projected View and the Detail View.

   Note: There is a parent/child relationship between the top projected view and the detail view. The detail view inherits the properties of the parent view. This means we need to change the style of the top projected view only.

   1. Double-click anywhere inside the selection boundary of the top projected view to activate it.

   2. In the Drawing View dialog, select Visible and Hidden Edges from the Style options to display hidden lines in this view.

   3. Click Close to accept the drawing view changes.
