Basic question about drawing

[ptc-5675800]

Hello all,

My question is about drawing. It is a basic question, but I can't figure it out :

I made a drawing of a part (so far easy...) :

1. I have enabled the plan view : Why are there a red and yellow line ?

2. I would like to draw a line, taking the plan as a reference : is it possible ?

Thanks a lot for your help,

that is the datum plane. the front and back of a plane is shown in two different colors.

go to display filters and uncheck the datum planes.

Thanks.

I would like to keep the datum planes on my drawing.

Is it possible to represent the plane by just one color/line ?

[rohit_rajan]

yes you can by converting it into a model datum

Thanks Rohit,

How would you do that?

[rohit_rajan · Accepted solution]

select the particular plane part

right click and select properties

select either ansi or iso datum

now when you see the plane in drawing

it will be a single line with the datum symbol

offcourse you still have to hide the planes from the display filters.
