I have a mounting plate for other parts that is angled on the transom of a boat. I made the model in the orientation that it is used. However I want to View position and dimension it differently, as though it is fixtured on the milling table at an angle.
It was padded the DrawnView which is the application orientation. CW_2 is the fixtured orientation. I labeled Side A and Side B. The rotations are by using the CW and CCW arrows in the 'cube'. Notice from the hidden lines, while the plate is angled, the hole is horizontal. For the milling hole positions, I need to make horizontal dimensions where the machine spindle enters Surface A. I can use cosmetic lines to locate the center of the hole and place a TechDraw vertex at the intersection, and then show my horizontal dimensions.
I was just wondering how the vertex placement works. I was surprised TechDraw Vertices didn't stay on one side or the other, and also that they don't appear on the AsDrawnView.
DrawnView shows no TechDraw vertices
CW_2 shows vertices on Side B
CCW_2 shows vertices on Side A
