cjanderson66 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I have created a section view and added text to it. Why is it that once I have done this that it will not let me create a CAD detail from View? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can see it does not give me the opportunity to make a CAD detail from view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 That's odd. I don't have the answer. But it also seems weird that the layer set box is empty and the default setting box is empty. Also, where's the floor # box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the quote: When the Vector View rendering technique is used, you can select CAD> CAD Detail From View to create a 2D line drawing of the active cross section/elevation view in a CAD Detail window. This drawing can then be edited as needed. See CAD Detail from View. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAD Detail from View is available in all line-based views, including plan view and any 3D view using the Vector View Rendering Technique. See Rendered and Vector Views. The funny thing Robert is that I looked that up and when I saw in all line based views, I stopped. I didn't even think about the fact I was in Technical View. Thanks again for your help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
