Make 2d - first

[…] the correct one is to use the projected left view.

Not disagreeing - we use the projected left view as well…

But I’m wondering if this user preference or if this is actually a standard. As far as I can see, ISO 10209:2012 on Technical Product Documentation specifies the first-angle projection but only says:

orthographic representation com­prising the arrangement, around the principal view of an object, of some or all of the other five views of that object
Note 1 to entry: With reference to the principal view, the other views are arranged as follows:
— the view from above is placed underneath;
— the view from below is placed above;
— the view from the left is placed on the right; - the view from the right is placed on the left;
— the view from the rear is placed on the left or to the right, as convenient.

FWIW, related discussions:

Make2D 6 primary views

Hi, How about adding an option for a 6 view setup viewing the 6 primary views? Currently there is no simple option to run make 2D once with right, front, left, back, top and bottom view… a picture is worth more : [image]

V6 wish - make 2d - first angle projection-left view

[Zwischenablage01] [Zwischenablage02] I don´t know what it´s like in other countries, but in germany we use top, front and left view, where the left view is drawn on the right side. Make 2d still only makes front, top and right view, so as a workaroud we still have to make a separate make2d of the left view to get a complete drawing. 6 views would be even better, but is no standard, and might be too slow on bigger models.
