I want to give some dimensions to the manufacturer but my standard orthogonal views, the front right and top are not giving me what I need. So I'm going to go up to auxiliary view and if we hover over it, we get the definition. Adds a view by unfolding a new view from a linear entity. So an edge, basically a sketch line. We're going to click on auxiliary view and we're going to select a reference edge to continue. So right now, I don't have an edge in there.
