Project with the keyway facing forward
This section explains how to project with the keyway facing forward.
Use the "Direct View" command to set the keyway to face forward, and then enable [Orientation of 3D Scene] in the [Projection Drawing Output] screen of CAXA Draft. This will allow you to project with the keyway facing forward.
Procedure:
[1] You operate Keyway facing forward with "Look At" command.
[2] Create new Draft.

[3] Click "Standard View", then select "From file".
[4] Project view.
