Auxilary View

SW2003

Is there a way to make an auxillary view that is allong an edge instead of
perpendicular to it. I have had many times that I have no perpendicular
reference for the view I want but I had a Parallel one. I remember in
school we projected along a line more often than perpendicular to one.

That is probably what I will end up doing. I will use a section view though
because the sketch line will go away then.

Corey,

You can draw a line and make it perpendicular, parallel, at an angle, etc,
and use that to project your auxiliary views from.

Hope this helps,

That makes alot of sense. We don't have much need for auxilary views here
maybe 8 drawings a year. So I don't deal with them all that often. But
knowing that will help me think in advance in the future. The drawing in
question was a simple part with an angled cut. In this case a section was
adequate.

Thanks,
