About Figures
A Creo Illustrate C3DI file, or illustration can contain one or more figures.
Use a figure to display the sBOM with the appearance and settings of your choice.
All figures in a C3DI file use the same MCAD or Schematic data. However, the CAD data can come from multiple sources. A file can contain one or more of the following figures:
• 
2D • 
3D • 
Schematic | A Creo Illustrate C3DI file that contains 2D figures can only be opened in Creo Illustrate Professional. |
Figures saved in the file are listed in the
Figures tab and displayed in the following views:
• 
Folder View
• 
Dependency View
• 
Gallery View
You can set the
Figure View for 3D figures. This is the initial view that the end consumer of the published figure sees. This is also the view that will be used when publishing a 3D figure to 2D or raster formats. If no figure view is set, the current or last saved view is used.
You can save 2D and 3D figures as individual files:
• 3D file (3D figures only)
• 2D vector file
• Raster file
