Description:
Makes the projection of 3D shapes (from a given direction) into the current drafting document.
General philosophy:
Select the part(s) to project (in the TopSolid document).
Set the options of the dialog box and confirm.
Position the projected view in your TopDraft document.
Available option(s):
You can choose to project
the curves by using the option Project curves=
NO or
YES
. 
The EXPLORE
button
allows you to open a document
having the part you want to project.
The ASSEMBLY
button
allows you to project in one time
all elements from an assembly.
It is strongly recommended to define an assembly only with shapes, components
and repetitions.
The LIKE
A VIEW button
allows you to create a new view from elements already projected in an
existing view. That save you selecting a second
time the elements in the TopSolid document.
The NO
ELEMENT button
allows you to get an empty view in order to define a model
document. This preset model have to be saved in the directory ...\config\template.
The option Follow=
EXISTING OPERATIONS or
SUBSEQUENT
OPERATIONS allows
you to set the associativity level of the 2d view with the 3d document.
Once you selected the elements to
project, the following dialog box appear, allowing you to set the projection
parameters.

Specific point(s):
A perspective view is a main
view.
The projection keeps the
B-spline curves of the 3D shapes. If you want these curves to be converted
into curves made of lines and arcs after the projection, you must tick
the option "Rebuild projected B-splines"
in the file properties (projection parameters) or in the "Tool |
Options" menu.
If you activate this option, it may be a small difference between the projected curves and the ones defined by the 3D model. This mode may also lightly increase the projection calculation time.
