Generate and save eDrawings
You can generate eDrawings™ files in Creo Elements/Direct Modeling and save them in Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager.
Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager preserves the association between your parts and assemblies and their eDrawings so when you save a model as a New Version or Overwrite, Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager no longer displays the XVL or eDrawings file that was associated with the previous revision. This way, you'll know you should recreate a new eDrawings for your new model revision.
* 
Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager will display a warning if the model or drawing has not been saved before generating the eDrawings file. You must save the model or drawing first to have the eDrawings file automatically linked to it.
To generate and save eDrawings,
In Creo Elements/Direct Modeling, right-click the drawing and, in the shortcut menu, click Model Manager > Save eDrawings file.
Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager automatically saves your eDrawings file, and displays it in your model or drawing's Attachments folder.
