similar story, but using your first test data with the LinkElements
starting from TR001_Beam+End_Plate.FCStd
new page
new view LK_P001
new view LK_P002
new view Link001_i0
new view TR001
save file
restore file
gives this:
This looks right to me, except for LK_P001. It is not vertical in the 3D view.
HEA200 looks like it might extrude along Z axis, so I must be applying a placement(?)
that should not be applied.
Any ideas?

Re: Drawing link object in a page with techdraw
Looks right for me too, also for the other examples (i.e. Assembly4 test)...This looks right to me, except for LK_P001. It is not vertical in the 3D view.
For the LKP001 of the first test I think that the problem is related to this property: "Link Transform" (see Link_transform_screenshot_1)...
If I set the property to false, then the LK_P001 is vertical in the 3D model (see Link_transform_screenshot_2)....
I understand that this parameter set the placement of the link object (LK_P001) equal to the placement of its original element (P001)...
I think that TD does not read this parameter when it is set to TRUE....You see the LKP001 orizontal in the 3D model, but when you insert the view in a page TD does not read the placement of the original element (P001)...
Thanks, Marco

Re: Drawing link object in a page with techdraw
I'm sure it doesn't. Didn't even know about until you pointed it out.
I'd rather not dig into the properties of a Link beyond Shape and Placement. Maybe there's a way to get Link to provide the finished result reflecting all the various properties.
BTW support for PropertyXLinkList is in master branch after git commit 4104a0e263.

Thanks for the support...BTW support for PropertyXLinkList is in master branch after git commit 4104a0e263.
I agree but I don't now if there is a way to provide the correct view reflecting the properties....however the single part can be oriented in the page by the user changing the parameters of the view...Also the LinkTransform can be set to FALSE and the placement of the link changed by the user before the creation of the page...I'd rather not dig into the properties of a Link beyond Shape and Placement. Maybe there's a way to get Link to provide the finished result reflecting all the various properties.
