Hello
As a new user of the Catia software, I am looking to make a drawing, preferably on the side, of a "complex" shape created in the surface. Even if I created a hybrid on part disign, I didn't manage to insert it into the layout of the "drawing" workshop 
Thank you for your help, slts.
             
            
              
              
              
            
            
                
                
              
           
          
            
            
              Hello
Your problem is that you can't select a face in the part to determine it as a "front view" in your drawing?
Have you tried to select a plan?
 
             
            
              
              
              
            
            
                
                
              
           
          
            
            
              I've tried, yes, but it doesn't work.
My latest attempts are:
 Add thickness to the CATshape file, then save as a .model file, and make it a "Drawing". But my files are not "linked", so all manip. force you to restart the mill.
             
            
              
              
              
            
            
                
                
              
           
          
            
            
              And by integrating the CatSHAPE into a product and making a plan of that product?
I don't have the module, I can't test...
Edit: I have the module: I test
             
            
              
              
              
            
            
                
                
              
           
          
            
            
              Can you send me your file?
I succeeded by selecting a line + a point
             
            
              
              
              
            
            
                
                
              
           
          
            
            
              Sorry, but here's the right file.

              Hello
silly questions maybe but hey...
- why create your . Catshape and not in .catpart?
- If you manage to thicken or fill your shape, what is blocking you from going straight to drawing and having to make a .model?
In addition, the hybrid mode normally allows you to have the "2D" elements (points, lines, surfaces, ...) in the body of the part with the 3D instead of having them separated in a geometric set but does not influence the a priori drawing.
             
            
              
              
              
            
            
                
                
              
           
          
            
            
              Good evening
I'm going to try again tomorrow. 
In hybrid mode I was able to output a ".catpart" but to make a draw, when I try to  "click" on a map of the "part" it doesn't work... I can create an isometric view, but no more. Not to mention a cup.
But I only have a few days of practice, and I'm having a bit of a hard time digesting the lack of automatism of this software.

              Hello
In which version is your 2nd file? I can't open it in V5 R19...
Otherwise, have you tried to create 3 dots on your surface and then select them to give the orientation of the view. But I don't think it can help to make a cut...
             
            
              
              
              
            
            
                
                
              
           
          
            
            
              Hello 
The . CATShape are representation files?
If I get the construction hystoric in a CATPart no PB for the drawing.

 
             
            
              
              
              
            
            
                
                
              
           
          
            
            
              I gave up on the idea of working with Catia...
