Drawing multiple parts in a single drawing

graham_lockgraham_lock Member Posts: 148 PRO
Hi,

I have a Part Studio containing multiple parts,

Is there a way to select multiple parts and / or composite parts to include in a single drawing as once multiple parts are selected the create drawing option disappears.

I'm modelling some decking where I need to draw multiple parts to generate the full outline.

Thank you.

    Go to "Insert View" in the already created drawing. Within the pop-up box, top left, click on "insert". That will allow you to add another model to the drawing to create views of that model. Repeat for as many models as you want.

    You may also consider making an assembly of what you want, then make a drawing of the assembly.

    Also within the assembly, there are "display states" so you can hide/show only the instances you wish. You can make as many display states as you like. Then, in the 2D drawing mode, you can change any view to a particular display state.
