• Create drawings of all Creo+ models.

• Export drawing files to other systems and import files into Drawing mode.

• View and annotate models and drawings.

• Manipulate dimensions, and use layers to manage the display of different items. Creo+ associates drawings with their parent models. The model automatically reflects any dimensional changes that you make to a drawing. In addition, corresponding drawings also reflect any changes that you make to a model (such as the addition or deletion of features and dimensional changes) in Part, Sheetmetal, Assembly, or Manufacturing modes.

• Work with various view types. All views in the drawing are associative. If you change a dimensional value in one view, other drawing views are updated accordingly.

• Work with multiple sheets in the drawing.

• Add and modify different kinds of textual and symbolic information.

• Define mapkeys for drawing operations. Execute the mapkeys in any of the tabs irrespective of whether the tab is active or not.

• Customize engineering drawings with sketched geometry, create custom drawing formats, and make multiple cosmetic changes to drawings.

• Use shortcut menus to modify an object in a drawing from anywhere in the Model Tree, Drawing Tree, or the graphics window. At any time when a drawing window is active, you can interrupt your current process and activate a drawing object for modification.

• Create 3D parametric, feature-based models from 2D drawing data using AutobuildZ. The 2D drawing data can be imported to Creo+ from any of the supported file formats, such as DXF, DWG, and IGES. Additionally you can use the following capabilities of AutobuildZ:

◦ Clean up 2D data by moving unnecessary and unwanted data to blanked layers.

◦ Associate the parts with the active drawing in session.

◦ Create features in the active part by selecting geometric entities on the drawing in session.

◦ Map the views of the drawing to datum planes in the parts.

◦ Automatically regenerate the drawing views of the active part on a separate drawing sheet when features are added to the active part.
