Laying out flat parts onto a drawing

outstandingoutstanding Member Posts: 56 ✭✭✭
I have the following model, where all the edges are to be laser cut from 3mm plywood. 

What workflow would you suggest, to be able to make a drawing of this?



If I simply import the parts, I get tilted versions, due to the pieces being brought in with the orientation in the Part Studio.


My own plan is to make an assembly studio where I place the parts "flat", then make a drawing out of that.  Any alternatives?

    Create Named views in 3D, use those views for each drawing view.

    @asko_kauppiTry Auto Layout for nesting within a part studio. This will lay out or "nest" all of your parts.

    Will go with Named views for now but also looked into the Auto Layout.  I only need this once, for now, so built-in functionality won.
