UCS

Creates a profile view relative to a user coordinate system. If no viewports exist
in your drawing, the UCS option is a good way to create an initial viewport from which
other views can be created. All other SOLVIEW options require an existing viewport.

You have the option of using the current UCS or a previously saved one as the profile
plane. The viewport projection is created parallel to the XY plane of the UCS with the X axis facing right and the Y axis upward.

Named

Uses the XY plane of a named UCS to create a profile view.

Enter the name of the UCS you want to use and the scale of your view. Entering a scale
is equivalent to zooming your viewport by a factor relative to paper space.

The center is based on the current model space extents.

World

Uses the XY plane of the WCS to create a profile view.

Enter the name of the UCS you want to use and the scale of your view. Entering a scale
is equivalent to zooming your viewport by a factor relative to paper space.

The center is based on the current model space extents.

?—List Named UCSs

Lists the names of existing user coordinate systems. The list is filtered using the
wild-card combinations you enter (wild-card characters accepted by the UCS command
are valid).

Current

Uses the XY plane of the current UCS to create a profile view.

Enter the name of the UCS you want to use and the scale of your view. Entering a scale
is equivalent to zooming your viewport by a factor relative to paper space.

The center is based on the current model space extents.

Ortho

Creates a folded orthographic view from an existing view.

Once you select the side of the viewport you want to use for projecting the new view,
a rubber-band line perpendicular to the side of the viewport helps you locate the
center of the new view.

Auxiliary

Creates an auxiliary view from an existing view. An auxiliary view is one that is
projected onto a plane perpendicular to one of the orthographic views and inclined
in the adjacent view.

Two points define the inclined plane used for the auxiliary projection. Both points
must be located in the same viewport.

A rubber-band line perpendicular to the inclined plane helps you select the center
of the new viewport.

Section

Creates a drafting sectional view of solids, complete with cross-hatching. When you
use SOLDRAW on a sectional view created with this option, it creates a temporary copy
of the solids and uses SLICE to perform the operation at the cutting plane that you
define. SOLDRAW then generates a profile of the visible half of the solids and discards
the original copy. Finally SOLDRAW sections the solids. Solids not crossing the cutting
plane are generated as full profiles. Because drafting standards recommend not drawing
hidden lines in sectional views, SOLVIEW freezes the View Name-HID layer.

In the original viewport, specify two points to define the sectioning plane.

Define the viewing side by specifying a point on one side of the cutting plane.

Enter the scale of the new view. Entering a scale is equivalent to zooming your viewport
by a factor relative to paper space. The default value is a 1:1 scale, which is equivalent
to zoom 1.0xp.

At the next prompt, specify the center of the new viewport. If you accepted the default
scale (by pressing Enter), a rubber-band line perpendicular to the sectioning plane
helps you locate the center of the new view. Otherwise, you can place the view anywhere.
