Catia V5 Detail Pages

[TheMan51]

I am creating Catia V5 2-D drawings. According to my company's drawing standards we need to show machining lines on our casting drawings. It seems the best way to accomplish this is to transfer the machining lines to detail pages and attach to casting views. What is step by step method to create detail pages.
Thank you.

I guess there are many ways, you can try setting up a sketch in 3D showing the wanted section that you can then use on the drawing.

A few ways I have seen are
1. Create a view of the machined part (Front, side, section or what ever is required to match the casting view) inside of your casting drawing. Change line type to what you desire and then position that view (RMB=> View Positioning=> Superpose) over the other.

Or

2. Create the desired machined view in another drawing. Select the geometry (Not the view) and copy them into the view of the other drawing (Casting).

In order to create a Detail sheet, go Insert - Drawing - Sheet - New Detail Sheet. You will have by default a 2D Component that you can rename in its (right-click) Properties to another desired name. In this Detail sheet, whenever you insert a view, it will always be a "2D Component". These will be your details that you'll be able to instantiate in any of your views. (each detail will be a separate view in the Detail Sheet).

Now, as for the geometry inside this detail view, you can create it in 2 ways:
1. you can draw any geometry (points, lines, curves etc) directly in these views, as you would create in any regular view or in a sketch.
2. you can create an extracted view in another sheet, (right-click) isolate it from the 3D part and then pick the desired geometry from that view and copy-paste it inside your 2D component.

Hope that helps.
