Create a Drawing, a Sheet and a View

DRAW Reference Manual

Draw the Design : Create a Drawing, a Sheet and a View

The top-level element in a database is the World. You cannot delete or create the World. Starting with the World as the current element, you can create the hierarchy under the World using a command sequence, for example:

NEW DEPT /PIPES
NEW REGI /PIPREG
NEW DRWG /PD101
NEW SHEET /SHEET1
NEW VIEW /PLAN

You can omit all commands except for NEW DRWG and NEW VIEW if there is only Department, one Registry and one Sheet on the Drawing. If the administrative elements do not exist they are created automatically.

Departments (DEPT) and Registries (REGI) are administrative elements. Departments own Registries.

Note:

You can have several VIEWs on a Sheet. Each VIEW can contain a picture of a different part of the 3D model, or different views of the same part of the 3D model. The contents of a view can be manipulated. Refer to Change the VIEW Attributes for further information.
