Undeform deformed parts in drawings

You can undeform warped or cambered parts and show the developed (undeformed) shape of deformed parts in drawings.

Deformed parts are parts that have been warped or cambered in the model. You may want to undeform these parts if you want a concrete part to have two states: as erected (in the model view) and as cast (in the drawing view), for example.

Note:

Part shortenings are hidden if you set Undeformed to No.

  1. On the Drawings & reports tab, click Drawing properties and select the drawing type.
  2. Load drawing properties that are as close to the ones you need as possible.
  3. Click View creation and go to the Attributes tab.
  4. To hide deforming angles and cambering, set Undeformed to Yes.
  5. To save the changes, click Save.
  6. Click Close.
  7. Click Save to save the drawing properties, then click OK and create the drawing.

The created drawing shows the developed shape and dimensions of the part.

See below for an example of a undeformed part in a drawing.

Note:

The Undeformed option value in the View Properties properties dialog box on the Attributes 2 tab is ignored in drawing creation when the Undeformed option is set to a value on the View creation > Attributes tab.
