FAQ: How is the drawing process suite used?

Note: The answer is referring to version 2015. This information may differ on other versions.

The drawing process suite allows running several processes in one shot to automatically get workshop drawings in a quick way.

The drawing process suite can be customized using the Drawing Process Manager.

1. Open the Drawing process manager: On the ribbon, click (Drawing process suite).
   • Output Document Manager (Drawing process suite)
2. Select the User branch for customization.

   The icons on the top-left of the dialog box, allow renaming the existing (process) suite, copying it or creating a new one.

   

   Once a process suite is selected, there are several options available to modify the list of the processes (insert, delete and changing the order by moving up and down).

   

   Note: The processes that you select must be based on a "Selection" (e.g. Selected SP Plate - AutoPage).

For each process, you need to select the objects from your model for this process.

To select the objects

1. Click the blue button (called "Select objects for process") in the dialog box.
2. Select the elements in the 3D model and press Enter.

   

   Notice that once your selection is done, the blue icon has a bit of yellow.

   Note: If you made a mistake, you can reset the selection by clicking Reset selection.
3. Click Use to start the drawing creation.

   Your process will run in the defined order, and the workshop drawings will be automatically created.
