Once you finish, check and number the model, you can automatically create dimensioned and labeled 2D general arrangement and shop drawings. A drawing may consist of several linked details.

Keep track of changes
Usually, during the review stage of a project, different changes might be necessary both in the model and drawings. You can keep track of the changes in drawings automatically.
Modify the drawings
After the drawing has been created, several modifications can be made to the drawing views and other drawing content. The commands are used within an opened drawing, not in the model.
