Specify the Product for Conceptual and Preliminary Design
- From the Compass, click 2D Layout for 3D Design.
-
In the layout sheet, create a frame and title block.
You can create the frame and title block in the main or background view.
You can also edit a sheet, modify a sheet, reorder a sheet, and so on. See Managing Layout Sheets.
-
Create the required 2D geometries. See
Creating 2D Geometry.
You can also modify them. See Modifying and Analyzing 2D Geometry.
-
Create the required 3D output: 3D plane, 3D profile, or 3D
axis. See
Working with 3D Outputs.
You can also work with 3D edges. See Working with Use-Edges.
-
Define the favorite context.
When a 3D shape contains a layout or an annotation set, it is possible to define a favorite context that can be opened along with the 3D shape. Using this favorite context, you can then open the layout or annotation set with the required product structure. See Working with Favorite Context.
-
Create a detail sheet.
You can create, manage, and instantiate the following elements:
- 2D components and 2D geometries. See Working with 2D Components.
- Text, table, and label templates. See
Managing Text and Table Templates
and
Working with Labels.
You can also create a catalog containing 2D components, text templates, or labels. See Creating a Catalog.
