We do not recommend using this Task on Projected Views that are linked to a Parent View.

The values entered into the task create a specific zone on the drawing for the view (see image below).

You must include the scale part of the name if the name belongs to a detail view i.e. "Detail View A (1 : 10)"

DriveWorks will scale up the generated drawing view as much as possible to fit the zone.

Dimensions are not constrained to this zone.

Generation Sequence

This Task can be added to the following Generation Sequence(s):

  • Pre Drive (will be run before the Main Drive Sequence)
  • Post Drive (will be run after the Main Drive Sequence)
