To Create a Detail View with a Rectangle as its Border

You can use any closed contour (placed on an Inventor linked drawing view) to encapsulates the area to detail.

Before you begin, create a base view of a part. Make sure you are working in the Drawing tab and the Base View icon in the Browser is highlighted.

1. In the drawing area, right-click and choose New View.
2. In the Create Drawing View dialog box:
   • View Type: Detail
   • Scale: Enter a value for the view scale.
   • Accept the other defaults, and then choose OK.
3. Select the vertex in the base view to attach the detail view.
4. On the command line, enter r.
5. Specify the first corner of the rectangular area.
6. Specify the opposite corner.
7. Specify the location for the detail view, and then press ENTER.
