Creating schematic views

The Create Schematic View command creates dynamic 2D views of rigging and any attached loads. You can create the schematics before or after you have finished designing in 3D. The schematic views are linked with the model, so applicable edits are transferred between the model objects and their schematic instances; see Concept: Schematic views.

Parameter	Description
Layer	Select an existing design layer, or create a new one, for the schematic view. It is recommended that you place the schematic views on a different design layer than the model objects, for organizational purposes.
View	Select the 2D component view to show in the schematics; see Concept: 2D components for symbol definitions and plug-in objects
Create Schematic Views for the truss line	Creates a separate schematic view for each rigging object in the selected truss line

A schematic view is created for each rigging object and its attached loads. The schematic views are inserted at the document origin. If multiple schematic views were created, they are inserted next to each other based on the stacking order of the parent rigging objects. All schematic objects are inserted in the active class.

In most cases, the orientation of a schematic load matches the load’s orientation as set on the model rigging object. However, if the load and rigging objects are rotated at different angles, the schematic load’s orientation may not match the model for visibility reasons.

Within the schematic view, lighting devices and other load objects can be added, removed, and repositioned; see Managing loads for more information.
