Drawing Support for Template Documents

Drawing Template Documents

You can now use base documents with true 2D drawings or select a base document when creating a drawing. The base document defines the drawing's properties and projections, ensuring consistency across company documents and saving time in the drawing creation process.

Features of a Drawing Base Document

When a drawing is used as the base for a 3D drawing, it provides predefined projection properties. Other drawing settings are derived from the base template. A base document for a model-generated drawing does not create a geometric copy but applies the annotations defined in the dialog below.

When a drawing is converted into an independent drawing, the projections are exploded into groups, allowing manual editing to continue. This enables you to embed elements like tables, logos, and annotations directly into the drawing template.
