Create 2D Drawing

Once you have inserted the components, you can create a 2D drawing that can be added to the electrical project drawings.

 

      

 

SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D menu: Create 2D drawing

Menu: Tools > SOLIDWORKS Electrical > Create 2D drawing

 

SOLIDWORKS Electrical uses the SOLIDWORKS features to create the drawing. A 2D drawing opens in the graphical area but, unlike the SOLIDWORKS command, no title block is loaded. This drawing has the dimensions of the title block of the scheme set in the electrical project configuration.

The Palette of views side panel opens allowing you to drag the views you wish to use. The composition of the drawing is entirely free.

 

The SOLIDWORKS Electrical Drawing menu has two commands.

 

Create marks: Generates the component marks in a view.

Create Project drawing: Generates a new drawing. A title block is automatically added and the file is saved in EWG format in the Drawings directory for the electrical project.

 

The drawing is automatically added to the list of drawings for the electrical project.
