TECHNICAL NOTES

Conversation-specific knowledge extracted from the solidworks view projection issue discussion.

EXTRACTED KNOWLEDGE / HOW-TO FROM CONVERSATION

QUESTION / CONTEXT: WHY IS SOLID WORKS PROJECTING MY VIES LIKE THIS ALL OF THE SUDDEN

  1. Your base view (the one you projected from) is not square to the sheet
  2. It’s rotated to match the weldment orientation (like your angled tube)
  3. So when you create a Projected View, SOLIDWORKS stays normal to that rotated view → which gives you those weird diagonal projections
  4. --
  5. Rotated the base view manually (View → Rotate View or drag rotate)
  6. Inserted the view using Model Orientation = Current
  7. The model itself is at an angle in the part/assembly
  8. Used a weldment that isn’t aligned to standard planes
