Verify that every assembly component has a drawing

You are here:

Drew can make sure that every assembly component has a drawing.

  1. Open an assembly
  2. Click Go To Batch Tool in the task pane
  3. Choose Active Assembly
  4. Choose one of the two filters on the right, to either show models that need a drawing or models that have a drawing.

Drew batch panel filters for assembly

Drew batch create solidworks drawings

Drew finds all components (with the assembly itself at the top) and checks if a drawing (with the same filename) exists for each part and assembly.

Filter with toggle buttons or searching

We have two ways of filtering the visible files:

  1. With the toggle buttons, just below the list of tasks
  2. With the search bar, below the toggle buttons.

We explain what each toggle button does and how the search bar works in How to use filters in the batch tool.
