A ply book is a 2D drawing that typically provides the details of each ply on an individual sheet. A ply book displays one or more ply views, flat ply views, cross-section views, and relevant information required for the layup process of plies on a mold. The order of the sheets in a ply book represents the order in which the plies are applied on the mold.

You can create a template and use it to automatically create a ply book, or manually create the ply related views in a drawing. When you add more plies to your composite feature, you can use the Insert Ply Book command to create additional sheets in a ply book. You can create one sheet for a single ply or multiple sheets for the range of plies.
