This procedure steps you through editing a composed drawing from either the Drawings and Reports task Management Console or from a 3D modeling task using the Tools > Drawing Console command. See the SmartSketch Drawing Editor Help for information on any of the SmartSketch Drawing Editor commands mentioned in this procedure, .

  1. Right-click an existing composed drawing in the Management Console or the Drawing Console. The document opens in the SmartSketch Drawing Editor. You can use the editing tools in the SmartSketch Drawing Editor to modify the appearance of your drawing. You can also use the Composed Drawing tools to place new regions, drawing views, report views, and snapshot views on the drawing area. You can also place labels manually on the drawing.

    When you place objects like drawing views, key plan views, report views, and drawing property labels, the software automatically places them on the DwgTemplate layer when you save the drawing document. You should not place manual markups on the DwgTemplate layer.

    If you use other native SmartSketch Drawing Editor commands (such as Place Line or Place Dimension) to add manual markups to the template, put them on the Default or a layer with "User" as the prefix (for example, a layer named UserAnnotationLayer to preserve the changes when you update drawings.

  2. To place a new region in the drawing area, use the Place Region Command . Regions are used to manage drawing views. Click and drag to place the new region. The Region Properties Dialog displays after you place the region shape. Specify the properties for the region you are adding and click OK to complete the creation.

  3. To place a new drawing view, use the Place View Command . If you want your new region to manage this drawing view, place the new drawing views within or touching the region. You can also place "unmanaged" views outside existing regions. Click and drag to create the drawing view shape. The Drawing View Properties dialog displays so you can define the drawing view. See Composed Drawings in the Orthographic Drawings Help for information on how regions and views work together.

  4. To place a report view, click Place Report View . The drawing view you select can be managed by a region or unmanaged (outside all regions). Click and drag to place the report on the drawing area. The Report Properties Dialog displays so you can specify the properties for the report. Click More in the Report Template property box to select from available reports. You can set the output format of the report using the Report Output Format and Report Justification properties on this dialog.

    • The report view you create is empty. Use the Associate Objects to View Command command to associate a drawing view to the new report view. The drawing view you select must already be associated with a volume in the model.

    • You can associate multiple reports to the same view, but you cannot, in the current release, associate multiple views to the same report.

  5. You can also place snapshot views on your composed drawing. You create the snapshot view content in a 3D task using the Tools > Snapshot View Command. See Snapshot View Command in the Common Help.

    To place the snapshot view on the composed drawing, use the Place Snapshot View Command . Click and drag to place the snapshot view shape. TheDrawing View Properties Dialog displays so you can specify the properties for the snapshot view.

  6. You can place manual labels on the composed drawing using the Place Label command.

  7. If a view association is incorrect, click Remove Associated Inputs . This command allows you to select a view and remove all associations to volumes, folders, and other views.

  8. If you decided to delete a drawing view, a message box displays when you press Delete for a selected view, providing a chance to cancel the operation. After a drawing view is deleted from the drawing, the operation cannot be reversed.

  9. To update the contents of a view, select and right-click the view then select Update View on the shortcut menu. The view is updated with the associated 3D model objects or report, depending on the association you made with the Associate Object to View command.

  10. Save your drawing changes before exiting SmartSketch Drawing Editor.

  11. Update the modified drawing to incorporate the changes. You can open the drawing to check the new layout and view content.
