Create a New Drawing

You can create a new drawing reference.

  1. From the Edit section of the action bar, click New Drawing .
    The New Drawing dialog box opens.
    Note: If an object is selected when you click the command, it is automatically unselected. To create a new drawing and insert it in the structure, click Insert New Drawing. For more information, see Insert a New Drawing in a Structure.
  2. On premises only: If specialization types are available, from the Type list, select the type of drawing you want to create.

    For more information, see Installation and Setup: Customize: 3DEXPERIENCE Platform: 3DSpace Data Model: Data Model Customization: Specialize Data Model: Specialization Types.

  3. In the Template list, select a template and authoring CAD for the new drawing (CATIA V5, SOLIDWORKS).

    This drawing can be opened or authored only in this CAD.

  4. To customize the title of the drawing, in the Title box, enter a title.
  5. Enter the values for the attributes in the corresponding boxes.

    Note: If custom attributes are available, they are also displayed in the dialog box.

  6. Optional: If you are creating drawing with CATIA V5 master, specify a file name in the File Name box.

    By default, the file name corresponds to the title of the object. If you specify a title, the file name is updated accordingly. You can overwrite it, and specify the file name of your choice. Once the file name has been manually modified, modifications of the title do not impact the file name anymore. If the file name is empty, a default file name is computed for the object based on its name

  7. From the Credentials list, select the credentials (collaborative space, organization, and access role) to assign to the new drawing.

    Notes:
    • If you belong to only one organization, the organization is not displayed in the list of credentials.
    • By default, the credentials selected in the app's preferences are used. If you select other credentials, they are used for this operation only and do not modify your preferences.

  8. Click:
    • Create and close to create only one drawing and close the dialog box.
    • Create to create the drawing, and then create another one.

The drawing is created and appears in the user interface.

Insert a New Drawing in a Structure

You can create a new drawing reference, and add it as a child instance to one or more selected products.

  1. Select one or more parent products.

    Drawings can only be inserted under 3DEXPERIENCE products.

  2. Right-click the selected objects, and select Insert New Drawing .
  3. If you selected several products, click OK to confirm you want to insert a new drawing under multiple parents.
  4. Follow Step 2 to Step 8 of the section above.

The new drawing is created, and inserted as a child instance under the parent product(s) you selected.
