Selecting a part and/or assembly will generate a drawing file for each part and assembly selected in the file selection tool.


Selecting a part body (sheet metal, welded structure, solid) and/or an assembly component (part component, subassembly) will generate a sheet for each body, component, or subassembly.


Example 1:


  A part consists of 3 sheet metal components and several mechanically welded components.


  I just select "part" as the document type for the sheet and set up a simple view with the "isometric view" setting.



  I select my part file in the file selection tool.


  SmartDrawings will generate a single sheet showing an isometric view of my part.






Example 2:


  A part consists of 3 sheet metal components and several mechanically welded components.


  I simply select "sheet metal body" as the document type to manage for the sheet, and I set up a single view with the "isometric view" setting.



  I select my part file in the file selection tool.


  SmartDrawings will generate 3 sheets for each sheet metal part, including an isometric view of the part.
