Creating a 2D Component Template

You can create a 2D component template in the 2D component representation. This 2D component can then be instantiated in a design drawing sheet. A 2D component is a reusable set of geometry and annotations. The 2D component can be instantiated several times, each instance providing a component with a specific orientation, position, and scale.

Before you begin: Open a 2D component representation.
  1. From the Template section of the action bar, click 2D Component .
  2. Click in the sheet to define the 2D component view position.
    The 2D component view is created at the selected location.
  3. Create a 2D component.

    For example, create two circles.

  4. To add a leader, right-click the 2D component, and select Add leader .
    A leader is added to the 2D component.

Note: Once you create the template, all the commands in the Template section of the action bar become unavailable.
