Question:
How can I create an additional copy of a drawing?

Answer:
You can create additional copies of a drawing during its creation or after a drawing has already been created.


Creating copies during the creation of a drawing 

Select the Drawing & Reports tab. Navigate to Drawing Settings and click either Assembly Drawing or Single-Part Drawing depending on which you wish to create.

Generate a new drawing of your selected assembly/part. You can repeat this action as many times as needed, each Sheet number value creates a new drawing which appears in the Drawing List.

Each drawing can be opened independently and its settings changed to suit, giving a different looking drawing for each copy of your assembly/part.

Examples of use:
  • Large truss assemblies (showing main assembly, then other drawings showing details).
  • Single part drawings (showing part & another drawing showing wrap around view).
 



Creating copies of an existing drawing 

Select the Drawing & Reports tab, click Drawing List. Right click the drawing you want to copy, navigate to Create Drawings and click Copy to new sheet.
