Detail view SW 2010

[MGZmechanical]

Hi, I'm starting to draw with SW (coming from AutoCAD). and I'm wondering how to deal with detail views.

My problem is as follows. I have a a big part with some small chamfers. So in my drawing I want a big view with no chamfers and a detail view of the corners in wich I could see the chamfers.

As I see, and I need two configurations, one without chamfers for the main view and the other without for detailing. That's fine. Now my problem is that the detail view must be in the same configuration as the main view. So I have chamfers in every view or not chamfers at all.

Am I correct or is there something I'm missing?

Regards,

Why do you want the big view to have no chamfers?

Typically configurations are used when you have families of similar parts... or to show various process changes (sheetmetal flat pattern).

Is something we use to do in 2D. Get rid of small chamfers and lines that are very close in big views and just show them in detail. That way the big view is no so full with lines.

If you want to do it, the way you want: Make a view off of the paper space, detail from that, then hide that view off the paper space, but, but... I'm not sure why the original view shouldn't have chamfers, that you can't see.
