Question

Can you have side by side drawings of one part?

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has tried to put a front of a part and back of a part in the same illustration and was able to add callouts on it. I would think you would be able to duplicate the part and have it beside it the opposite way. Can you do this in Creo Illustrate 3.0? If so, what is the best way to go about this?

Thank you!

HI,

The easiest way to do this is to use an inset view looking on the back of the part.

Inset views are available in Creo Illustrate 3 and the ability to add callouts was added in M020.

The border on the inset can be turned off to give the impression that you have two versions of the same part looking at it from opposite directions.

Hope this helps.

Thank you! I haven't thought of using insets. How do you move the model or the inset after you set it to rotate one of them to be the opposite side? I can't seem to find a way to move the figure without moving the inset.

Set your 'Figure View' looking in the desired direction:

Navigate to the desired (opposite) view and add an inset:

Resize the inset and turn off the border and leader, then return to the figure view:

To adjust the inset position you need to 'Unloc' it first (either in the inset ribbon or the inset RMB).
