1. WHY IS SOLID WORKS PROJECTING MY VIES LIKE THIS ALL OF THE SUDDEN

ASSISTANT RESPONSES:
1. This is a classic SOLIDWORKS “your parent view isn’t orthogonal anymore” problem. What’s happening: - Your base view (the one you projected from) is not square to the sheet - It’s rotated to match the weldment orientation (like your angled tube) - So when you create a Projected View, SOLIDWORKS stays normal to that rotated view → which gives you those weird diagonal projections. 🔥 Why it “suddenly” started happening You likely did one of these: - Rotated the base view manually (View → Rotate View or drag rotate) - Inserted the view using Model Orientation = Current - The model itself is at an angle in the part/assembly - Used a weldment that isn’t aligned to standard planes. ✅ Fix (FASTEST WAY) Option 1 — Res…
