Make drawing

Make a drawing of the current component. Drawings are made from a selected idw or dwg template.
It is possible to retrieve the dimensions from the model and insert a Cadit parts list.ini when the new drawing is made.
It is also possible to configure Sovelia to copy model properties to the drawing or update scale property when the drawing is made.

Start from Assembly ribbon, Tools ribbon or 3D Model ribbon, on the Sovelia panel:

Command	Value

Retrieve all model dimensions	Check to get all model dimensions in the new drawing. The dimensions will be inserted arranged. It is not recommended for assemblies
Insert Parts List	Inserts selected Parts List in the new drawing

Model properties are copied, and scale properties are updated automatically according to the settings in CaditInventor.ini

The new drawing is made according to certain rules which control number of views, scale, rotation, margins and gap between views. This is different for different component types.
