Detailing and Drawings You can include detailing (dimensions, notes, datums, geometric tolerances, and other annotations) as you create a model. You can create 2D drawings of a model, and then insert the dimensions and annotations from the model into the drawings. Contents Detailing Overview Setting Detailing Options You can set options for various aspects of detailing. The options affect only the active document. Model Items You can insert dimensions, annotations, and reference geometry from a model document (part or assembly) into a drawing. Model Items PropertyManager eDrawings Markups In the SOLIDWORKS software, you can view markups that are made to drawings in eDrawings. Style You can define styles, similar to paragraph styles in word processing documents, for dimensions and various annotations (Notes, Geometric Tolerance Symbols, Surface Finish Symbols, and Weld Symbols). When you use styles with annotations, you can repeat commonly used symbols. Add or Update a Style Annotations Tables Bill of Materials (BOM) Drafting Standards Print Settings You can specify line thicknesses that work best with your drawings. Drawings You can create 2D drawings of the 3D solid parts and assemblies you design. Parts, assemblies, and drawings are linked documents; any changes that you make to the part or assembly change the drawing document.
