When you create drawing views, those views are based on the current drafting standards in effect. Those settings impact all new drawing views you create, but any changes you make have no effect on any existing drawing views.
Before creating drawing views, you can set the drafting standards on which you want those views to be based. To do so, on the Layout ribbon, in the Styles and Standards panel, click the Drafting Standard dialog box launcher.
The program displays the Drafting Standard dialog.
In the Projection type group box, you can set the projection angle for drawing views. The projection angle defines where projected views are placed. For example, if the active projection type is First angle, top views are placed below the parent view. With the Third angle, top views are placed above the parent view.
In the Thread style group box, you can set the appearance of thread edges in the drawing. Note that you can control the thread edge appearance separately for section views and when thread edges appear in circular projections. Also note that the thread style settings only apply to drawing views based on Autodesk Inventor models.
In the Shading/Preview group box, you can choose the shaded preview quality and preview type. For example, in the Shaded view quality drop-down, you can specify the resolution of the shaded preview. While higher resolutions provide better quality previews, resolutions above 150 dpi may not be achievable for larger models. When the specified resolution is not achievable, the program automatically drops the quality to an achievable level.
In the Preview type drop-down, you can choose whether the program displays a shaded view when you are creating a projected view or just shows a bounding box. Note that the settings in the Shading/Preview group box only affect the preview. Once the view has been placed, its appearance will be based on the actual drawing view settings.
Once you have finished adjusting these settings, click OK to close the Drafting Standard dialog.
