But the VIEWBASE command has an option to resolve this issue. That’s because it’s what we see if we align our view in Modelspace to the Front orientation on the viewcube. If I use the AutoCAD Front View, the view that gets placed ends up like this. Remember I spoke about the orientation earlier. The ribbon shows options for you to change some of the settings. AutoCAD wants to know where the 3D model lives. Type in the VIEWBASE command and pick the source. We are only using VIEWBASE in this example.ģ. If there are viewports showing, delete them. NOTE: Because of this is a requirement, the VIEWBASE command was changed to force the selection of a Layout if you started the command in modelspace.Ģ. For the VIEWBASE command to work you must be in paper space.

So having drawn my 3D model I go to a layout tab.

This will be more obvious later, but needs be considered prior to leaving Modelspace. Ultimately this will affect the orientation to set when placing the first View. But now that I look at it, what I consider to be the front of the object is aligned with the Left view of the View cube as you can see below.

Which view angle do you consider to be the Front View? Basically, I modelled this object in relation to other 3D objects without considering the orientation required when detailing it in isolation. To do that we use the VIEWSTD command and set it as follows:Īnother thing to bear in mind, before we place the VIEWBASE details on the sheet, is what orientation you used in modelspace. All of these are really easy to produce using the VIEWBASE command.įirst I want to make sure that it is 3rd Angle Projection.

Finally, and I want to set the colour and weight of the visible edges, hidden edges, and hatching to match my CAD Standards. Then instead of a Right Side View, I want to show a Section Cut. In the Isometric View I want to change the scale to make it slightly smaller on the sheet, and I don’t want hidden lines to show. I want hidden lines to show in both the Top View and the Front View. So here are some steps to follow to get it working.īelow is the drawing I want to produce.

So I was surprised, given that the VIEWBASE command was introduced in AutoCAD 2012 that they hadn’t even heard of it, let only tried it in anger. They are fine for 2D, but when you put 3D solids in the viewport it is really frustrating trying to get hidden lines to show how you would like… or expect. I’ve had some customers recently complaining about the way AutoCAD works with Viewports.
