Initiating a Part
This is the default option. Create a new empty part under the Top part and set the new part as the active part so you are ready to draw in it.
* 
It is not necessary to make the Top part active before you use the Part option. Every new part you create is automatically positioned immediately below the Top part.
To create a new empty part immediately below Top:
1. Press PARTS 1.
2. Pick Part in INITIATE.
3. Enter a name for the new part or allow Creo Elements/Direct Drafting to assign a default name.
Creo Elements/Direct Drafting now creates the new empty part below the Top part and sets it as the active part. You can now begin adding drawing lines, text, and so on to the part.
4. Place at least one element (or subpart) in the new part otherwise it will be deleted when you change the active part status.
