Hello!
I am trying to align two drawing views, neither align by center or align by origin are giving me the alignment that I want, so I was hoping someone might be able to tell me how I can make two edges on separate drawing views co-linear??
I basically want the two blue selected lines to be co-linear, is there a way to do this?
Kind regards,
Kristian Thompson
Hello Kristian,
I've never used it much, but if you'll preselect an edge or drawing view and go to Tools > Align Drawing View there are several options. (If you don't preselect anything then the options are all grayed out). You might be able to get something there to work for you.
Perfect!
Thanks a lot for your help, that was just what I was looking for
I'm glad I could help. You might want to mark my reply as the right answer. I don't care about the points, but that way when people see your post they'll know you no longer need help with it without having to open it.
There's a lot of other helpful information for new forum members at How do I do this SOLIDWORKS Forum thing?. And the FAQ section of the forum in general might be of help also, particularly if you haven't been using the software for very long: FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
Glenn,
All done, thanks for pointing out those areas, ive just had a quick glance and there looks to be plenty of useful information there.
Thanks again
Kristian,
We're you able to get one of those options to work under the "Align Drawing View" menu? I have the same issue, but haven't been able to get two drawing views to align based on their bottom edge. Instead, no matter what I pick, Solidworks only aligns the origins or center of the view.
