drawing for face not at 90° to anything?

david_rysdamdavid_rysdam Member Posts: 11
I'm trying to create a drawing for this part. The top face is easy. The irregular hexagon at the bottom front is easy. The very irregular pentagons next to that are also easy, because there's one at the end of the part. The rectangular nub center screen is doable. The semi-regular pentagons--impossible. They aren't 90 from anything. How can I create this drawing?


In an unrelated matter, if you hit ctrl-shift-u, you put yourself in underline mode and it won't turn off. or rather, it will, but it is impossible to remove the hidden "underline" tags in the text so you can never remove the underlines.

    It's not in yet but soon you will be able to use the named views as views in drawings.

    Work arounds at the moment are:
    Transform part in the part studio to the desired view orientation. 
    Or drop in a new part studio tab as a derived part and transform (making it a new part) to the desired view orientation.
    Or other option maybe to position part in an assembly and mate to get the desire orientation.
    None of these are ideal, hopefully we will see an update to drawings soon which will solve this.
