I'm wanting to create a set of conventional third angle ortho drawings from a 3D model in MOI and I have a few questions:

1. Am I right in thinking there is no way to output front, top, right drawings in one operation - they have to be done separately and assembled?

2. If I add dimensions in the front view for they appear as thin lines in the right view - etc. Currently I'm working around this by using a different style for each 'view set' of dimensions and switching them on / off as required. Is this the best way to do this?

Thanks

If you use the "No Native" Dimensions by Max Smirnov 1 & 2 are ok ;)

Hi Viewbyte,

re:

Yes that's correct for v4. In the future I do want to add in an option for multiple views in one go.


re:

They'll show like that in the viewport so you can do things like select them. They won't show like that in the PDF/AI generated output once that is out in the next v4 beta.

OK, noted!

I do understand your point about window selection in the 'edge view' windows.

However, my feeling is having those edge lines visible is confusing, and it's only one click back to a 'face on' view to select them.
If I had a 'vote' I'd vote to hide them in the 'edge' views : )

Hi Viewbyte,
