Creating a New Drawing Sheet

Select New > New Drawing Sheet from the File menu.

A drawing sheet containing top, front, and right-side views appears in the Design window, and the Drawing Sheet appears in the Structure tree. The Detailing tab is displayed. You do not need to create a design before creating a drawing sheet. SpaceClaim allows you to create and edit geometry within the drawing sheet itself. When you create a new drawing sheet for an empty design, the sheet contains the view outlines, with handles you can use to control the size and position of the view. You can delete the handles and move the view using the outline.

Note: If you began a design from an empty drawing sheet, you can right-click a design on the drawing sheet and select Open Component to display the design in a new Design window.

Modifying one view changes the related views as appropriate.

To: Do the following:
Display a drawing sheet in the Design window

Right-click the sheet in the Structure tree and select Open Sheet from the context menu.

Delete a drawing sheet

Right-click the sheet in the Structure tree and select Delete from the context menu.

The drawing sheet window closes. If the drawing sheet is no longer referenced by any other open design document, it is removed from active memory. It is not deleted from other documents that reference the drawing sheet.

Edit design annotations

Right-click the annotation plane in the Structure tree and select Show all dimensions to display any design annotations on that plane. Click an annotation to edit it. Changes made on the drawing sheet will also appear in the design.

Open a Root Part in the design document

Right-click a root node in the Structure panel of a drawing sheet and select Open Root Part.

In a drawing sheet opened from a component-only design document, right-click the component root node and select this option to display the design document for the full assembly. In a drawing sheet without any views, right-click the Drawing Sheets root node and select this option to display the design document for the assembly.

The drawing sheet and its views are duplicated in a new drawing sheet.
