Inside Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Hi guys, I'm taking an engineering graphics course at my local college and we're using inventor. I was given a cylindrical object that has 3 ribs on it (it looks kind of like a pulley) so I've drawn it (had some problems with drawing the ribs though) and now I'm working on trying to project some orthographic views from the object so that they come out in a conventional projection as opposed to a "true" projection unfortunately the only thing I can see that inventor can do is do a true projection. Is there any way to make it so that it works out better? Thanks! For a demonstration of what I mean by 'conventional projection' go to www.twu.net/eq4 and take a look at figure 8-47.

Aardvark Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 You can create orthographic views or auxiliary views or section views in inventor. An auxiliary view will be at an angle other than 90° (non-orthographic) and a section can be created with more than one leg as shown in your example. Read the help on how to create these views.
