New Document to the Archive

General

  • You can create a new document (part, assembly, or drawing) as shown below.
  • A new part or assembly model can be set up in an assembly model, in which case the part or sub-assembly becomes part of the (main) assembly and does not need to be added separately.
  • A new drawing describing the model is created in the model.
