2D drawings are the main standard of machining and checking parts. It's very important for today's manufacturing to have quality part information to go by.

* Automatically generate 2D drawing from solid and surface models
* Automatically update the 2D drawing if the part has been changed
* Automatically create standard and custom drawing views as required.

Below are some examples.

Full section view: Can be created on both simple and complex shapes.

Example 1: Full section view with a single section planes.

Example 2: Full section view with multiple section planes.

Example 3: Named Section Curves in 3D modeling.

In 2D a sheet,define the type of section view as named 3D and another one named Bent.

The one named 3D is used when sketch lines between 0 and 90 degrees are used. See following image.

Bent is used when sketch lines are beyond 90 degrees.

Example 4: Two intersectanting section plans to define the whole section

Note: The intersection line of two section plans must coincide with the axis of rotational part.

Detail view: It is used to enhance details of the drawing. Use this commmand to create circular and rectangular detail views from other layout views.

Broken view: Used to create a gap or break in a view using a pair of broken lines. This makes it possible to display a large part within a drawing view that it normally it would not fit inside of.

You will appreicate the ease with which you can create the many types of views in ZW3D.
