2D Drafting

Draw’s 2D drafting facilities are designed to be complementary to its main drawing production facilities. 2D drafting allows you to add to drawings such features as Notes, plane and boundary lines, keyplans and tables of symbols. In addition, backing sheets, overlay sheets and symbol templates can be created.

2D drafting shapes (or primitives) can be positioned explicitly, with a cursor hit or by a construction. Because the principle of point construction can be applied to all Draw primitives that have a position attribute. Point construction is described. Refer to Point and Line Construction for further information.

Note:
For 2D drafting purposes, it is possible to enter Draw having specified a multiple database (MDB) that does not contain a Design database. Clearly, in this ‘drafting-only’ mode, intelligent text that extracts data from a Design database cannot be used.
