Creating a View From an FTA View

You can create an associative view in a 2D layout representation from an FTA (Functional Tolerancing & Annotations) view, plane or sketch. You can then invert, reroute or isolate such views.

Before you begin:
  • Open a 3D shape representation containing a layout and at least two FTA views.
  • Click and select Mechanical > 2D Layout for 3D Design to open the layout in the 2D window, alongside the 3D window.
