Drafting 2

[ravishankarbs]

Hello Friends,
Can you please tell me how can I re-orient the part to get views in drafting in the way I want.
In catiav5 one can select a plane/face and define that as his top view for example.
How would I acieve it in UG.
Thanks
Ravi Shankar

You can either use the canned views that UG comes with or set your own views. To use your own views, you need to orient the model to show the faces you want and then save the view. When you go to drafting, just use the view you saved for your primary view. UG will take projections from your view for the other views.

Hi,
You can re-orient your view and gets in Ug drafting, the easy way re-orient your part(Press Mouse 3 button and select orient view or rotate, or press F8 in NX2 for re-orient the part)
the oriented part must be save *** VIEW\operation\save as
you can give a name your new oriented view. The drafting side in add view command you can see your oriented and save it part name select the view .

I am working in nx2 drafting and trying to add xyz coordinates to points. I open Grip file "pt_coordgrx, and insert the location. The text is in the correct spot, but the line from it extends to a point far below my drawing.
How can I get the line to go to the point that I am recoring the coordinates for?

My guess is that the GRIP program was written in pre-v10 days. The location of views and their references changed at V10. Most older programs had the leaders go off the edge of the drawing since the lower left is now the drawing 0,0. There is a method to map the drawing view coordinates to the drawing coordinates, but I haven't done any GRIP in years and none that needed that functionality.

I am currently using GRIP Files to add XYZs to my drawings in Unigraphics NX2 and am wondering if there is an easier way to do so.
