How To Show Hidden Lines In Onshape Drawing

This functionality is currently bachelor only on browser.

When you lot create a drawing from a part, curve, surface, or subassembly, you lot can create it without any views, by default, or with iv standard views: top, front end, right, and isometric. Typically, the projection of the views depends on the standard called: starting time angle projection for ISO standard and third angle projection for ANSI standard, you can also use a custom template and select the projection, or change the projection after the drawing is created.

This functionality is besides available on iOS and Android in a express course.

For case, a standard ANSI cartoon may look like this:

All views of a office, bend, or surface in a drawing are from the same version of the part. When creating a view (drawing, projected, auxiliary, section) the part version used is the aforementioned as for all existing views.

Views are placed on sheets and can take relationships with other views.

This table illustrates the types of views and which can exist created from which:

Insert view

Place a view of the model (part, surface, assembly, sketch, curve, composite part, or flat sheet metal design) on the agile sheet; use the dialog to select the desired part, sketch or apartment sheet metal design, including version and orientation. By default, the label and calibration are off. To see the scale, double-click the view: the View properties dialog opens to the elevation left of the drawing.

1. Click .
2. In the dialog, either:
   1. Use the drop downwards to select a role, curve, surface or assembly, and and then a view:

      

      The screenshot on the left shows the Insert view dialog for a Function Studio; the one on the right shows the dialog for an Assembly

      If available, you tin can likewise select a named view, listed at the lesser of the View field (where Front appears, above).

   When inserting an Assembly that has Display states defined, the Display state drop downwards appears below the Assembly view drop down. Here you tin can select the Display state to include in the drawing.

   2. Click to search the Function Studios and Assemblies in the current (or any document) for parts, surfaces, assemblies, curves, or sketches (or versions thereof):
      1. Select to insert from the Electric current workspace (in Office Studios or Assemblies in this document):

      

      By default, the selected filter is Parts, but you can also search for an entire Office Studio, Assemblies, surfaces, sketches, curves, composite parts, and sheet metal apartment patterns. These filter icons appear only when the selected Role Studio or Assembly contains these types of entities.

      

3. Or, click Other documents to use the familiar filters to search for and and so select from a version in a different document:

   

4. Once a certificate is selected, if information technology has versions, click to open the Version graph and select the version or workspace from which to select a part or assembly:

   

   You lot can besides select to view just released items , and to create a version.

5. Employ the Scale dropdown (where i:1 Sheet appears every bit the default) to select a specific calibration for the view.
6. If you are inserting an assembly and accept created exploded views, you can select a specific exploded view to insert:
   1. Select the dropdown abreast the Explode/Position field in the dialog.
   2. Select the Exploded view name you wish to insert.

      

      Insert view dialog showing the Explode/Position dropdown with Exploded views

7. In one case you lot have the intended entity selected, click on the drawing to place the view. A preview appears as you identify the view.

Projected view

Shortcut: p

Create a new view by projecting (folding) out an existing view. By default, the label and calibration are off. To run across the scale, double-click the view: the View properties dialog opens to the top left of the drawing. Past default, the Projected view tool is agile after a drawing is created and you lot place the first view. The Projected view tool remains active, even afterwards utilise, until yous click on the icon to turn it off.

1. Click to select an existing view.
2. Drag the cursor in dissimilar directions from the original view to see possible projected views.
3. Click to place the new view.
4. You lot tin can also double-click on the view to open the View properties dialog.

Auxiliary view

Create an auxiliary view; an orthographic view that is folded out 90 degrees from a selected border in the parent view (ordinarily from a slanted edge). By default, the scale is off. To see the scale, double-click the view: the View properties dialog opens to the top left of the cartoon.

1. Click .

   

2. Optionally supply a label for the view

Labels are automatically applied (you are able to change them) and past default progress from A through Y, omitting I, O, Q, S, X, and Z.

3. Select the edge of the role nigh which to orient the auxiliary view. This edge is added into the edge selection field in the dialog.
4. Optionally, click the reverse icon to flip the auxiliary view.
5. By default the view plane indicators are visible. Check the Show view plane box to hide them.
6. Drag the cursor to the location for the auxiliary view, and click to identify the view. The view is placed and the dialog closed.

   

7. Double-click on the view to open the View properties dialog.

   The View properties dialog formats all input into an North:N or N/Northward format. For user input values, the second digit or denominator is always set to 1, and y'all can double-click the Scale label to edit it. By default, the scale of an Auxiliary view is always fix to Parent (the same scale equally the parent view).

Selecting an Auxiliary view also highlights the edge in the parent view.

Click to select the view aeroplane line and use the snap betoken at the 'elbow' of the arrow to drag the line to shorten it or lengthen it.

Utilize the heart snap point to motion the view plane between the selected edge and the center of the auxiliary view.

Selecting and right-clicking on the view plane opens a context carte du jour with the post-obit options:

• Clear selection - Clears all canvas selections.

• Zoom to fit - Zooms the sheet into view.

• Delete - Deletes the Auxiliary view.

Section view

Create a section view, jogged section view, or partial department view of an existing view (including a department view) by placing a cut plane line (or lines) and specifying a direction and characterization. Keep in listen that yous cannot create section views from auxiliary or particular views. By default, the label is on and the scale is off. To see the scale, double-click the view: the View properties dialog opens to the top left of the drawing.

1. Click .
2. Select Vertical, Horizontal, or Angular in the dialog:

   

3. Optionally supply a characterization for the view:

   

   Labels are automatically practical (you are able to change them) and by default progress from A through Y, omitting I, O, Q, South, X, and Z.

4. Choose to only show cut geometry by clicking the box adjacent to Show cut geometry only, or command the depth of the section past clicking Department depth (shown below):

   

   Select whether yous wish to apply some other entity to set the depth (and then select the entity on the drawing) or employ Blind and specify a depth.

   Click the department view icon in the dialog.

   

5. Movement the cursor over the role for which to create a view. Hover to view snap points:

   

6. When the dotted section cutting line is in the desired place, or the snap point is visible, click once to place the line. For angular department views, click a second snap point to set the angle.
7. If desired, select more than snap points to create a jogged section view (up to 4 points total for an angular jogged view):

   

8. Elevate the new department view abroad from the cutting line and click to identify information technology:

   

   Vertical department view (to a higher place)

   

   Angular department view (above)

   

   Horizontal section view (above)

   Note that dragging the section view to 1 side or the other before clicking it into place flips the side of the section:

   

   Click to select the section line and use the snap bespeak at the 'elbow' of the pointer to drag the line to shorten it or lengthen it:
   

   Adjust the length of the section line to the inside of the office to create a partial section view. (You cannot create a partial department view with a jogged section view.)

   

9. Double-click the view to open the View backdrop dialog.

Selecting a Department view highlights the cut line in the parent view.

The View properties dialog formats all input into an Northward:Northward or Northward/Due north format. For user input values, the second digit or denominator is e'er set to ane, and tin can double-click the Scale label to edit it. By default, the scale of a Department view is always ready to Parent (the same scale as the parent view).

In one case placed, jogged section views may be adapted by clicking a snap point and dragging to another point on the drawing view. The jogged section view adjusts respectively.

Hatch marks can exist edited both by selecting Edit hatch from the view context carte and opening the Properties dialog for Drawings, and navigating to the Views tab.

Creating a department view of a department viewCopy link

You lot can utilize the Section view to create a section view from a section view:

1. Click .
2. Select Vertical, Horizontal, or Angular in the dialog:
3. Optionally supply a label for the view.

4. If you wish to cutting from the sectioned geometry (the section view already created), select Cut from department:

   

   If you desire to create the view from the base geometry, leave Cut from section unchecked.

5. Click the bank check mark to create the view, or the x to cancel the operation.

Creating a section view from view that has a broken-out sectionCopy link

Y'all can create a section view from a view that has a broken-out section view practical to it; however, the new section cut is formed from the base geometry, not the broken-out sectioned geometry.

You can also double-click on the view to open the View properties dialog. Correct-click and select Edit section to re-open the dialog and edit the specifications of the view (or Remove section to delete the broken-out department from the drawing).

A view before the broken-out view is practical (left), and afterwards the broken-out view is created (right)

Note that, the depth point (defined by the Cease blazon, described above) has an clan back to the model. Therefore, if the model is modified resulting in a change of the depth signal, the spline and depth signal for the broken-out department volition update with the update of the drawing. All the same in some cases the update may upshot in an fault. The broken-out spline volition be displayed in ruddy; If a problem occurs, redefine the depth bespeak to fix the issue.

You tin move any view to another, pre-existing canvas in your drawing through 3 ways: employ the Move to sail command on the context menu, select a new sail in the Sheet dropdown in the Sheet properties dialog, and by dragging the view to another sheet in the Sheets flyout.

When a view is moved to another sheet, all related entities (labels, dimensions, etc) move with information technology.
When moving an auxiliary view, the parent view is not moved.
When moving a parent view, the auxiliary view is not moved.

Copying a view

Copy and paste views from one location to another in the same canvass, from one canvas to some other in the same drawing, or from a canvas in ane drawing to a sheet in another cartoon in the same workspace. Y'all cannot copy and paste views from i workspace to another, for example, from one document to another.

To copy any view:

1. Click the view to select it.

2. Right-click and select Copy (Ctrl+C) from the context menu.

3. With the cursor over the new location, correct-click and select Paste (Ctrl+V) to place the copied view.

View properties

Select a view, right-click and select View properties. Or, you lot can double-click a view to open the View properties dialog:

You tin select a Display state (when bachelor) and the views update accordingly.

When multiple views with differing values for their properties are selected, the advisable fields in the dialog display multiple values, as shown beneath:

For Detail and Section views, at that place are additional View label options, explained below.

• Certificate - The name of the document the part or assembly resides in.
• Workspace or Version - The workspace proper noun if the part or assembly is from the current document. The version name if the part or assembly is in a dissimilar document (when Part Studios or Assemblies are moved to another document, that document is automatically versioned).
• Type - Whether the drawing is of a function or an assembly.
• Reference - The proper name of the part or assembly of the drawing, with a link to open the referencing document and Part Studio or Assembly tab.
• View - To change the view from ane perspective to some other, select from the dropdown: Top, Left, Right, Front, Back, Bottom, or Isometric. The view on the drawing changes immediately.
• Scale - Set the scale of the drawing. Input is in an N:North or Northward/Due north format. For user input values, the second digit or denominator is ever ready to one, and you can double-click the Scale characterization to edit it. By default, the scale of a Projected view is always set to Parent (the aforementioned scale every bit the parent view).
• Rotation angle - Apply this to rotate the bending of view (in default units). The arrow reverses the management of the angle. All views, when created, accept a rotation angle of 0 degrees. Y'all can modify this value but if the view has no parent (is not a 'kid'), is not a parent (has no 'children'), or if the alignment with a parent is suppressed.

  Valid values are between 0 and 360 degrees.

  Views that may exist rotated may also exist Re-create link along a selected straight edge.

• Tangent edges - Select the visual handling of tangent edges in the view:
  • Subconscious - Tangent edges are visually removed from the drawing:

    

  • Solid - Tangent edges are shown by solid lines:

    

  • Phantom - Tangent edges are shown by broken lines:

    

• View return mode - Select the type of render mode yous wish: All-time quality or Best performance. Drawings views default to Best performance. If, in certain cases, some edges are non displayed correctly, you should change the View render mode to Best quality. The rendering way setting applies to both drawing views within Onshape and views in exported drawings.
• View simplification - This characteristic allows users to simplify the geometry shown in the drawing past setting a threshold below which features will be subconscious.

  • Automatic - Default. Finds the best view simplification settings based on the geometry of the part and automatically uses those settings to display the part or associates.

  • Absolute - Enter a number in the length units of the drawing to indicate that any feature smaller than the value volition be simplified within the view. If whole parts are smaller than the threshold value, those parts volition exist missing from the view. This is useful for removing excessive details not needed for drawing purposes (for example, a large number of very pocket-size features or components).

  • Ratio to studio - Enter a percentage of the size of the Office Studio or Associates below which the feature will be simplified within the view. If whole parts are smaller than the threshold value, those parts will exist missing from the view. This is useful for removing excessive details not needed for drawing purposes (for instance, a large number of very small features or components).

  • Ratio to function - Enter a percentage of the size of the part below which the feature volition be simplified within the view. This setting aims to preserve parts in a view, while simplifying the detail within those parts. This is useful if you intend to ensure all the parts are nowadays to facilitate detailing actions, such as placing callouts.

  All child views will receive the View simplification setting of their parent view, but any kid view tin be independently changed later and non affect the residual of the view settings in the parent/child dependency.

• Sail - The name of the current sheet shown; use the dropdown to movement the view to another sheet.
• Proper noun - The name of the view in the format <view perspective>-<part name>. Changing the name of the view does not modify the view perspective or the part name.

  With a single view selected in the Sail/Views list, you are able to utilise Shift+N to open up the Rename dialog.

• Scale label - Check to display the scale label below the view.
• View characterization - All views (Projected, Auxiliary, Section, and Detail) permit y'all to place a View characterization beneath the view in the drawing. View labels are applied automatically when adding a Detail or Department view. To apply View labels to Projected and Auxiliary views, open up their Belongings dialog, check View label, and provide a characterization name.

  For Particular and Department views you may optionally specify a custom prefix and suffix for the characterization, creating a multi-line label. Irresolute the alphabetic character besides changes the letter of the view referenced (the parent of the Particular view or the cutting line of a Section view, for example).

  

• Move to sail - Opens a dialog with a dropdown listing all bachelor sheets. Select a sheet to move the currently selected view to.
• BOM tabular array reference - Select the assembly the BOM table should reference.
• Cut list table reference - Select the cutting list table that should exist referenced.

You also take the ability to open the Part Studio or Assembly that the view is from, and specify a calibration, rotation angle, and scale label.

Select Parent scale to link the view'south calibration to its parent's scale or Sheet scale to link the view'south scale to the sheet calibration.

TipsCopy link

• The view rotates around the center of the view rectangle, which changes size every bit needed. For item views, the view rotates virtually the center of the circumvolve surrounding the detail view; the visible geometry stays the same and the circle stays the same size.
• When the Rotation angle is non 0 degrees, and then the view properties to reconnect alignment are disabled. Similarly, the commands to reconnect alignment with the parent are besides disabled. Yous must change the Rotation angle to 0 degrees earlier the view tin can reconnect with the parent.
• All dimensions accommodate when a Rotation bending changes. Vertical and horizontal linear dimensions remain vertical and horizontal. Aligned and rotated linear dimensions remain aligned and rotated to their view geometry.
• View calibration and characterization location modify to be centered beneath the new view rectangle or detail view circle.
• Use Suppress alignment with parent to remove the alignment of the view to its parent. If there are no dependencies, that is, if the view has no children, then you can utilize the Rotation angle field in one case the alignment is broken. Even so, if there are other issues blocking the view from being rotated (that is, if it has children), then the view cannot be rotated. Keep in mind, that if a view has children information technology cannot exist rotated fifty-fifty if you suppress alignment.
• Copy a view characterization using Ctrl+C to copy the label and apply the default properties of Notes (from the Belongings panel). Use Alt+elevate to copy a view label keeping the view characterization properties.

Modifying views through the Context bill of fare (RMB)Copy link

This command defaults to Hide for all new views to improve performance. If an assembly view with more than 20 parts does not brandish correctly because parts interfere with each other or portions of intersecting edges/faces are misidentified equally hidden (or visible) in any view, toggle Show office intersections.

In add-on to toggling the display of virtual edges (curves fatigued at the places where parts intersect) this command too restores visibility of parts which have been completely left out of the view due to having an intersection and being partially obscured from the specific view orientation.

Display landCopy link

Select a view, and so right-click and hover over Display state to brandish a list of available display states for the view. Select 1. For all parent views, the default is 'show all.' All child views default to 'follow parent' display state. Department and Item views will but ever 'follow parent' display country.

If you lot create a display country after creating the cartoon, update the drawing to make employ of the display land. If you delete a display land from the assembly, then upon cartoon update an error bulletin is displayed:

Failed to resolve Display land

Whatsoever views using the deleted brandish state will be empty, but remain on the drawing. The name of the deleted display state no longer appears in the context menu.

Explode/PositionCopy link

Select a view, then right-click and hover over Explode/Position to brandish a list of available explode or position states for the view. Select i.

If yous create an explode view after creating the drawing, update the drawing to brand use of the explode. If you delete an explode view from the associates, then upon drawing update an error message is displayed:

Failed to resolve exploded view

Note that moving the rollback bar in the Exploded tree betwixt explode steps will non impact the drawing view. The drawing views reflect all explode steps in an Exploded view.

Suppress alignment with parentCopy link

Select a child view, right-click and select Suppress alignment with parent to disconnect the automated alignment of views derived from other views in club to place them independently on the drawing.

When suppressing an alignment, you are non breaking the alignment to the view'south children. If the view has children (or any alignments) you will not exist able to rotate the view.

Edit section/Edit ingather/Edit auxiliary viewCopy link

Select the cleaved-out section, crop, or auxiliary view, correct-click and select Edit section, Edit crop, or Edit auxiliary view. For section and ingather views, utilize the dialog that opens to edit the spline, add points if necessary to elevate the spline into a new shape or alter specification from depth to entity or vice versa for broken-out section. For auxiliary views, use the dialog to provide a characterization, modify the originating view edge, flip the view, or plough on/off view plane visibility.

Edit hatchCopy link

Select the section view or broken-out section view, right-click and select Edit hatch. The Edit hatch dialog opens. Click the hatch area of the drawing, and a set up of options opens in the dialog, where y'all can accommodate the hatch type (ANSI, ISO, or Full general), pattern, scale, angle, and color.

Remove section/Remove cropCopy link

Select a department or crop view, correct-click and select Remove section (or Remove ingather) to remove the cleaved-out section or crop view and leave the spline for reference. To remove the spline, click to highlight information technology, then either press Delete, or right-click and select Delete.

View propertiesCopy link

Select a view, right-click and select View properties. Or, you can double-click a view to open up the View properties dialog. The View backdrop dialog is:

Y'all can select a Display state (when available) and the views volition update accordingly.

When multiple views with differing values for their properties are selected, the appropriate fields in the dialog display multiple values, as shown below:

For Particular and Section views, at that place are boosted View label options, explained below.

• Document - The proper noun of the certificate the part or assembly resides in.
• Workspace or Version - The workspace name if the part or assembly is from the current certificate. The version name if the office or associates is in a different document (when Part Studios or Assemblies are moved to some other document, that document is automatically versioned).
• Type - Whether the drawing is of a part or an assembly.
• Reference - The proper name of the function or assembly of the cartoon, with a link to open the referencing document and Part Studio or Assembly tab.
• View - When one view is selected, this field allows you to modify the orientation of the view: Top, Left, Right, Front end, Back, Bottom, Isometric.
• Scale - Set the scale of the drawing. Input is in an N:N or Northward/N format. For user input values, the 2nd digit or denominator is always fix to i, and y'all tin can double-click the Scale label to edit it. By default, the scale of a Projected view is e'er gear up to Parent (the aforementioned scale as the parent view).
• Rotation angle - Use this to rotate the bending of view (in default units). The arrow reverses the direction of the angle. All views, when created, have a rotation bending of 0 degrees. Y'all can change this value just if the view has no parent (is not a 'child'), is not a parent (has no 'children'), or if the alignment with a parent is suppressed.

  Valid values are betwixt 0 and 360 degrees.

  Views that may be rotated may as well be Copy link forth a selected straight border.

• Tangent edges - Select the visual treatment of tangent edges in the view:
  • Subconscious - Tangent edges are visually removed from the drawing:

    

  • Solid - Tangent edges are shown by solid lines:

    

  • Phantom - Tangent edges are shown past broken lines:

    

• View render manner - Select the type of render mode you wish: All-time quality or Best performance. Drawings views default to Best performance. If, in certain cases, some edges are not displayed correctly, you should change the View render mode to Best quality. The rendering way setting applies to both cartoon views within Onshape and views in exported drawings.
• View simplification - This characteristic allows users to simplify the geometry shown in the cartoon by setting a threshold beneath which features will exist subconscious.

  Accented - Enter a number in the length units of the drawing to indicate that whatsoever feature smaller than the value will exist simplified within the view. If whole parts are smaller than the threshold value, those parts will exist missing from the view. This is useful for removing excessive details not needed for drawing purposes (for example, a big number of very pocket-size features or components).

  Ratio to studio - Enter a percentage of the size of the Function Studio or Assembly below which the feature will be simplified within the view. If whole parts are smaller than the threshold value, those parts will be missing from the view. This is useful for removing excessive details not needed for drawing purposes (for example, a large number of very small features or components).

  Ratio to role - Enter a percentage of the size of the part below which the feature will be simplified inside the view. This setting aims to preserve parts in a view, while simplifying the detail within those parts. This is useful if you intend to ensure all the parts are nowadays to facilitate detailing actions, such as placing callouts.

All kid views will receive the View simplification setting of their parent view, but whatever child view can be independently inverse later and non affect the balance of the view settings in the parent/child dependency.

• Sail - The name of the current sheet shown; apply the dropdown to movement the view to another canvas.
• Proper name - The name of the view in the format <view perspective>-<function name>. Changing the name of the view does not alter the view perspective or the role proper noun.

With a single view selected in the Sheet/Views list, you are able to use Shift+North to open the Rename dialog.

• Scale label - Check to display the scale characterization below the view.
• View label - View labels are available for all views (Projected, Auxiliary, Section, and Detail). Item and Section views automatically employ labels to the view, while you need to apply View labels to Projected and Auxiliary views in the Properties dialog.
  For Detail and Section views, you can additionally specify a custom prefix and suffix for the label, creating a multi-line label. Changing the alphabetic character also changes the letter of the view referenced (the parent of the Detail view or the cutting line of a Section view, for instance).

  

• Move to sheet - Opens a dialog with a dropdown listing all bachelor sheets. Select a sheet to movement the currently selected view to.
• BOM table reference - Select the assembly the BOM table should reference.

You also have the power to open the Part Studio or Assembly that the view is from, and specify a scale, rotation angle, and scale label.

Select Parent calibration to link the view's scale to its parent'southward scale or Sheet scale to link the view'southward scale to the canvass scale.

TipsRe-create link

• The view rotates around the center of the view rectangle, which changes size equally needed. For particular views, the view rotates about the middle of the circle surrounding the detail view; the visible geometry stays the same and the circumvolve stays the same size.
• When the Rotation angle is not 0 degrees, then the view properties to reconnect alignment are disabled. Similarly, the commands to reconnect alignment with the parent are too disabled. You must change the Rotation angle to 0 degrees before the view can reconnect with the parent.
• All dimensions adjust when a Rotation angle changes. Vertical and horizontal linear dimensions remain vertical and horizontal. Aligned and rotated linear dimensions remain aligned and rotated to their view geometry.
• View scale and label location change to exist centered below the new view rectangle or detail view circle.
• Use Suppress alignment with parent to remove the alignment of the view to its parent. If there are no dependencies, that is, if the view has no children, and so you can utilise the Rotation angle field once the alignment is broken. All the same, if at that place are other issues blocking the view from being rotated (that is, if information technology has children), and then the view cannot exist rotated. Keep in mind, that if a view has children it cannot exist rotated fifty-fifty if you suppress alignment.
• Copy a view label using Ctrl+C to copy the label and apply the default properties of Notes (from the Property panel). Use Alt+drag to copy a view label keeping the view label properties.

View orientationCopy link

Modify the orientation of a selected view. Correct-click on the view and select View orientation from the context menu. The current view orientation will be grayed out in the menu:

• Pinnacle
• Left
• Right
• Front
• Back
• Lesser
• Isometric

These commands are too available through the View backdrop dialog besides.

Align view vertically or horizontallyCopy link

For rotated views, yous can elect to marshal them vertically or horizontally, according to a selected straight edge. The commands are found in the view context card:

1. Select a view.
2. Right-click to activate the context menu.
3. Select Marshal view vertically or Align view horizontally.

   The cursor changes to a pick cursor.

4. Select a straight edge with which to align the view.

The view is aligned and the control fashion is exited.

Group notes with viewsCopy link

To grouping notes with cartoon views:

1. Click the annotation and the view.
2. Right-click and select Group.

Whenever the view is relocated, the position of the annotation will update accordingly.
