How to project a view that is not orthogonal to the reference view

Hello

In a drawing, I would like to project a view that is not orthogonal to the reference view, with an angle of 30 degrees for example. Do you have any idea how to do this?

Thank you in advance for your answers

Hello

Unless I'm mistaken, auxiliary view by drawing a line at the desired angle.

This is exactly what Cyril.f, an auxiliary view created via a line or an edge , indicates : http://help.solidworks.com/2018/french/solidworks/sldworks/c_auxiliary_view.htm

+1 for the auxiliary view.

But the line drawn is not mandatory. You can use an edge from the original view to give the direction.

Tip: holding the CTRL key while you set your auxiliary view will disable the alignment of the auxiliary view (just in case)

Hello, otherwise in the part or assembly, you put the desired view and then you do "space" creates new view, then in your drawing you create a new view and you select the one you just created.

it's a hack there too but it works;

 

Kind regards

@G. : The advantage of the auxiliary view is that an arrow showing the orientation is displayed (in accordance with the drawing standards). It avoids playing guessing games;)

thank you for this "ctrl" trick that I didn't know, which is also not explained in the help it seems to me,

and which can also be used with other functions...
