Add a multi-body sheet with views for each body

You are here:

Drew could already create a sheet per unique body. But if you want multiple bodies on a single sheet, we can also help you a bit.

Click the Add multi-body sheet button while creating a drawing for a multibody part:

Drew then finds all unique bodies, adds 2D and 3D views, dimensions and a balloon if you have enabled that in the blueprint settings.

The result is something like this:

 

In this example, you see three views per body, plus dimensions and a balloon. The view orientation and rotation are optimized: some use a front view, some a right view, some a current model view.

The dimension positions are not perfect, but we used the 80-20 rule and automated the most boring bits (adding views and dimensions) first. We’ll improve the positioning later.
