Creating a Filtered View From an FTA Capture

You can create a 2D layout view from a FTA (Functional Tolerancing & Annotation) capture. This automatically creates an equivalent filter.

Before you begin:

  • Open a 3D shape representation containing a layout.

  • Click and select Mechanical > 2D Layout for 3D Design to create a layout alongside the 3D window.

  1. In the 2D window, click New View From in the Layout toolbar (Views sub-toolbar).

    The Tools Palette toolbar is displayed.



    By default, the relevant view type is selected. Check that the Create Datum option is not activated (you will then create an associative view).

  2. In the 3D window, select the Initial State capture from the specification tree.



  3. In the 2D window, click on the sheet at the location where you want the view to be positioned.

    An empty front view is created and activated. The 3D background is displayed in the 2D layout according to the definition of the reference capture, and along the plane of the associated view.



  4. Right-click the Front view from the geometry area or from the specification tree, and select Filter > Layout View Filters....

    The Layout View Filters dialog box is displayed.



    An equivalent filter is created. This filter is associative with the Initial State capture.

  5. Click OK.
