Question:
In my model, I have a slightly inclined column/beam. How can I get it to show inclined also in the assembly or single part drawings?
Answer:
In order to display inclined parts in drawings, go to the Drawing Properties > View > Attributes tab and select model in the Coordinate system box. This will show as inclined any part that TS considers as a "bracing", and keep vertical/horizontal any parts it considers as 'columns'/'beams'. The definition of a 'bracing' is given by the skew limits given in Tools > Options > Options... >Orientation Marks: Skew limits.
90 degrees is the maximum value for “column skew limit”.
1 degree is the minimum value for “beam skew limit”.
The result assembly drawing is here:
