Create a detail view in a Fusion drawing

00:03

In the Fusion Drawing workspace, you can create a detail view to enlarge and zoom in on a specific area of a model.

00:11

Magnifying an area of your design allows you to show details of complex features

00:17

or small components that may not be clearly visible otherwise.

00:21

Begin with your design open in the Drawing workspace,

00:24

and at least a base view already created.

00:27

In this example, a base view and a section view are shown.

00:32

On the Drawing toolbar, click Create > Detail View,

00:37

then select the parent view that you wish to use to create the view;

00:41

here, the base view is selected.

00:44

Next, select a point on the base view to act as the center point for your detail view.

00:50

Notice that a circle, or boundary, expands and contracts as your pointer moves closer to, or further from, the center point.

00:59

This determines the size of your detail view.

01:02

Adjust the boundary as needed, then click to place it.

01:07

Once you place the boundary, you see a preview of the detail view attached to your pointer.

01:13

Move the pointer to the desired location, and then click to place the view in your drawing.

01:19

You can adjust the view settings in the Drawing View dialog.

01:23

For example, under Appearance, you can change the Style to Visible Edges.

01:29

You can also adjust the scale or view name, especially if you have specific view naming conventions.

01:35

Under Edge Visibility, you can control the visibility of the different edge types.

01:41

And under Automated Center Marks and Center Lines,

01:44

you can opt to create center lines and center marks for all holes in a view.

01:49

In this example, Hole is selected,

01:52

but note the options for round extrudes, round cuts, and fillets.

01:58

Click OK to accept the changes and generate the detail view.
