KOMPAS-3D v23

The associative view contains an automatically generated projection of the 3D model. This view is related to the model, so changes in the model result in change of image in it.

In KOMPAS-3D, creation of the following associative views is available:

•standard views (front, rear, top, bottom, right, left, and isometry),

•an arbitrary view (the view of an arbitrary model in an arbitrary orientation),

•projection view (a view in the direction shown relative to another view),

•view in the arrow direction,

•a cut/section (simple, stepwise, broken line),

•leader element,

•detail view,

•detail section.

For each associative view, you can specify which objects of the model do not need to be displayed in it. These can be solids, surfaces, curves, points, as well as Detailing elements created in the model (cosmetic threads, dimensions, designations). In addition, you can disable the display in the form of the selected component (i.e. all of its objects).

Objects such as centerlines, center marks and center grids can be created in the associative form automatically based on the analysis of the shape and location of the model elements.

You can assign "uncuttable" components of the product (part or subassembly) to a cut/section.

In any associative view, you can create one or several image breaks (see section Break in View).

Standard and projection views, a view in the arrow direction, and cut/section are automatically built in a projection link. This link can be disabled (see section Advanced options).

Commands to create a view in the arrow direction, a cut/section, and a leader element are automatically started after creation of respective detailing objects in the drawing: a view arrow, a cut/section line, and a leader element. These commands can be also started manually.

Captions of view in the arrow direction, of cut/section, and leader element are automatically linked to "their" detailing objects, due to which they always match one another (see section View caption).

While working with associative views, you can use General practices (see section Work techniques with views), as well as a number of special techniques, described in sections:

•General methods of working with associative views,

•Transferring information from the model into the associative drawing,

•Working with projection designations,

•Setting up display of components in the associative view,

•Centerlines and axial lines in associative views.

While creating associative views of a model, the following options are available.

•If the model contains versions, then during creation of an associative view you can select the required design version. Data on variables of these versions are provided in the table of versions (see section Creating a table of versions).

•If the model contains variants of geometric representation, then during creation of an associative view you can select the required option.

•If an associative view of the mirrored version is added into the drawing, then captions of this view and vie of the original design version can be created automatically. Specifics of creating such captions are described in section Notes on configuring parameters of the view caption of in the mirrored version.

•If a model contains layers, groups of layers, and filters, then while creating an associative view they can be passed into the drawing (see section Transfer of layers from model into drawing).

•It is possible to synchronize data in the main caption of an associative drawing (the designation, name, weight, etc.) with the data from the model file, and the technical specifications in the drawing – with the technical requirements in the model file.

An attribute which contains data on the mass of model is automatically assigned to the drawing which contains associative views of the three-dimensional model. It is displayed in the Document informationdialog.
