Create a nailboard drawing

There are 2 methods for creating a nailboard drawing:

• From the cable and harness environment.
• From an open drawing.

Note: Each new drawing is created from a template. When you install Autodesk Inventor, your selection of a default drafting standard sets the default template used to create drawings.

To enforce conventions you can:

• Use this template or another predefined template.
• Modify one of the predefined templates.
• Create your own templates.

Note: You can only create a nailboard in a master level of detail.

Create a nailboard from the cable and harness environment

In the Autodesk Inventor Model browser, double-click the harness assembly to document. Optionally, right-click the harness assembly in the browser, and then select Harness Settings. Select the Nailboard tab to modify the default display for new nailboard drawings. On the ribbon, click Cable and Harness tab Manage panel Nailboard . In the Open template dialog box, click the template to use, and then click OK. Note: If the template is not on the Default tab, open the appropriate tab to find the template.

Create a nailboard view from an open drawing

From an open drawing, click Place Views tab Create panel Nailboard . On the View tab of the Nailboard View dialog box, select the standard Autodesk Inventor assembly that contains the harness assembly to document. If the assembly contains multiple harness assemblies, click the arrow under Harness Assembly and select the assembly to document from the list. If the assembly is a member in a configuration, click the arrow and select the member to use. Optionally, click the Display tab to modify the default display for wires, segments, and wire stubs in new nailboard drawings. Click OK. In the graphics window, move the harness assembly preview to the desired location, and then click to place the view.
