Design Draft

Design Draft produces fully annotated scale drawings showing selected parts of the design model created in Design Design. Design Draft is fully integrated with Design.

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

displayed simultaneously.

In Design Draft 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 will be 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 Design Draft database.
