TechDraw::DrawProjGroup secondary view works in opposite directions

Post by sirkkalap »

It seems that TechDraw::DrawProjGroup secondary views works in mirrored axes when compared to Drawing::FeaturePage secondary views.

Is that intentional? The tooltip says Right and view label says Left.

Are projection angle and view direction set the same in both? Looks like First Angle in your picture with View direction (0,-1,0).

The checkboxes (and tooltips) refer to which "slot" on the page is going to be filled with a view. The tooltips could be changed to reference the 3d model and reverse Left/Right and Top/Bottom if First Angle is selected, if the current arrange is too big a problem.
