FILE - NEW - Drawing

There are many options for paper sizes to choose. If you do not see the format you would like Click on the Browse option and find the correct format.

IMPORTANT! Same as when beginning a new Model, the Options will need to be set up to the correct ANSI Standards. Make sure the Units are correct.

Be sure to make sure you are set to follow the proper Rules for Dimensioning.

In the Features Dialogue Box (left hand side of the screen) find the part to work on. If the part is open, it will show up in the documents box, if not, you will need to Browse. Once you find the correct file, double click to grab it.

Set up the Orientation to bring in the views correctly. Select Create multiple views and select the four views used for multiview drawings.

Set up the views to be brought in to make the least amount of changes as possible. Set the Display Style to Hidden Lines Visible. Modify the Scale if needed.

Press Enter, or the Green check mark to continue.
