Third example - Printing/Plotting ( Fig. 19.12 )

1. Open the 3D model drawing of the assembly shown in Fig. 19.10 in a
single ViewCube/Isometric view.
2. While in MSpace , click the Plot tool icon. The Plot dialog appears.
3. Check that the plotter device and sheet sizes are correct. Click the
Preview button.
4. If satisfi ed with the preview (Fig. 19.12), right-click and click on Plot
in the menu which appears. The drawing plots.

Fourth example - Printing/Plotting ( Fig. 19.13 )

Fig. 19.13 shows a Plot Preview of the 3D solid model (Fig. 18.29).

Polygonal viewports ( Fig. 19.12 )

The example to illustrate the construction of polygonal viewports is based
upon Exercise 6. When the 3D model for this exercise has been completed
in Model Space :

1. Make a new layer vports of colour blue and make it current.
2. Using the same methods as described for the fi rst example of printing/
plotting produce a four-viewport screen of the model in Pspace .
