Showing Cutaway in Phantom

Probably not quite a CutAway persay.

I have an angle Iron 1.5 x 2.5

|
|1.5
|
|________________
2.5

I cut the 1.5 down to 5/8"

What I want to do is show the origional shape in Phantom without having to
sketch it, and have solid lines for the Finished Shape. I would appreciate
any Ideas you may have for acomplishing this.

one word, "Alternate Position View" ok, so it's not one word. anyway, don't
let the word "position" stop you from using this feature

 

ooops, jumped too soon. you have to have an assembly to use this feature.
besides angle is so small phantom lines will not show up. oh well, so much
for that brainless idea.

 

what about creating a configuration where the model is the raw material &
one where it has been modified. Then copy & paste the original view. Then
change to the uncut configuration in the second view. Then RMB clicking on
one of the model edges in the second view & choosing "component line font".
Change the solid edges to use linetype of phantom. (you must uncheck the
use default settings & select "from selection") Then align the second view
horizontally by the origin to the first view & then again align the second
view vertically by origin. This should put the second view on top of each
other. Thus now you will show what you want & it will be parametric!

Hope this works for you

create another sketch feature in the model &

 

Can you make a configuration in the model and use a cut to achieve
your desired result? Then, create a view referencing that config. You
may have to muck around with line fonts to get the phantom tho.....

 

That works Steve the only thing is as far as I can see you can only align in
one direction at a time. So once you get them to be on top of each other
you cannot move them without realigning. It is also hard to detail.
Selecting lines picks one from one view and one from another. I ended up
using multiple bodies and making the cut-away body transparent and removing
the lines in the views I didn't want to see them in and making them phantom
in the ones I did. The thing that stinks about that is I don't think that
the mass props will be quite right now. Not that we really rely on them.

Create a second config without the cut, then converted those edges & changed
the line type to phantom, then changed the config back to the one with a
cut.

Will they continue to be associative? Sounds good.

 

In the test I did, yes.
