Create a Drawing

1. Click New on the Application Menu.
2. Click the Metric tab, and then select ISO.idw.
3. Click OK.

   

   Autodesk Inventor opens an empty A3 drawing sheet with a generic border and title block. In the remaining steps, you place four views like the views you saw on Sheet:1 of the already open drawing.

4. On the ribbon, click Place Views tab Create panel Base .
5. To the right of the inactive File drop-down menu, click Open an existing file.
6. Select hinge.ipt, and click Open.
7. Click a location on your sheet for your front view. Leave space between the view boundaries and the drawing border to allow for additional view and dimension placement.

   Note: During the placement of your base view, you can optionally specify view scale, view name, view style, and view orientation to suit the requirements of your specific drawing. For this tutorial, you will accept the system default values.

8. Observe that the Place Views tab Create panel Projected command is automatically activated after placing the base view.
9. Move your cursor over the front view you just created, and click.

   

   Note: Your cursor displays a dotted red view boundary to indicate the view being selected.
