Set Drawing Title from First Model View (2025 FD02)

When saving a drawing, SOLIDWORKS can automatically assign the drawing title based on the first referenced model view.

Benefits: This update helps maintain consistency by keeping the drawing title aligned with its parent model.

You can enable this functionality by selecting the Use part or assembly title as new drawing title option, located under Tools > Options in the action bar.

When you enable this option, the drawing title is determined by the first model view added to the drawing. This behavior can apply to when you first save the file, or on every save, depending on your configuration.

The rules for assigning a drawing title are:
  • If the referenced model has one configuration, the drawing title matches the model name.
  • If the referenced model has multiple configurations, the drawing title includes the model name and the configuration from the first view. For example: Assembly1(Config1).

This option also applies to the Batch Save to 3DEXPERIENCE tool, helping to streamline filenaming during bulk operations.
