Draw Reference

Draw produces fully annotated scale drawings that display selected parts of the 3D model created in Model. Draw is fully integrated with Model.

A 3D model can be viewed from any direction, with hidden detail automatically removed or using a different linestyle, as required. A drawing can contain more than one view of a 3D model; for example, a plan view, a front elevation and an isometric view can be displayed simultaneously.

In Draw an annotated drawing is made up of different types of graphics:

• Graphics that represent the 3D model.

• Graphics to provide backing and overlay sheets which are common to a number of drawings.

• Graphics providing annotation, including not only dimensioning and text but also such items as leader lines and label boxes.

All the graphic items exist as, or are defined by, elements in the Draw database.
