Hi,
Writing this message because I'm struggling with the creation of a detail view. Whatever I select first (a part view, part view + page, an object in the part view to try to center the "focus"), I get a "Bnd_Box is void" error and "INFO - DVD::execute - testBox is void" message in Report view.
I have managed to make the error disappear modifiyng the anchor point coordinates (a pain to do BTW) which is always set to 0,0,0 by default whatever I do.
Attached my file in case it may be useful
Thanks for your help
Have a good evening

Re: Hard time creating a Detail View
The cryptic error messages are trying to say that there is nothing in the detail view. It doesn't have anything to do with what you selected. With the default values of radius=10 and anchor = (0,0) the detail viewport is right in the middle of the central "hole" in the sketch. If you shift the viewport over to a point on the sketch where there is actually some geometry, you will see it.silopolis wrote: ↑Mon Apr 16, 2018 6:13 pm Writing this message because I'm struggling with the creation of a detail view.

Re: Hard time creating a Detail View
Hi,
The thing is that the detail viewport is not visible at view creation and on ly appears when moved (not even resized), seems it's what lost me on first try.
BTW:
- detail viewport appears as a pseudo square, whereas the detail view is in a circle
- would be nice to have an option to draw a line linking the viewport and the view
Thanks again
OK, got it, thank you masta !wandererfan wrote: ↑Tue Apr 17, 2018 6:00 pm The cryptic error messages are trying to say that there is nothing in the detail view.

Re: Hard time creating a Detail View
I get the circle on the source view right away, unless there is nothing visible in the detail. I guess DVDetail should update the Source view even if there is nothing to see.
There is a preference for "matting style" (circle or square). Does playing with that get the two in sync?BTW:

Yes it would.- would be nice to have an option to draw a line linking the viewport and the view

Yes, setting it to square and back to circle, then reopening the file changes the viewport to circlewandererfan wrote: ↑Wed Apr 18, 2018 2:14 pmThere is a preference for "matting style" (circle or square). Does playing with that get the two in sync?BTW:

Indeed unencrypted message reads much better.wandererfan wrote: ↑Thu May 17, 2018 4:48 pm This message was changed in git commit 2a0c6513
