Also known as Workspace., and the Drawing Sheet appears in the Structure tree Display in the Structure panel that shows you each of the objects in your design. Select New > New Drawing Sheet from the File menu.Ī drawing sheet containing top, front, and right-side views appears in the Design window Area in the user interface that displays your model or assembly. You can edit a design directly while viewing the drawing sheet using the tools on the Design tab. You can place drawing sheet views on layers. You can rename objects, create, modify, replace, andĭelete objects, as well as work with components. You can expand orĬollapse the nodes of the tree to view the objects.

Normally, you will create the drawing sheet, set up the sheet, apply a format, add and modify views, then annotate the views.ĭrawing sheets and their views appear in the Structure tree Display in the Structure panel that shows you each of the objects in your design. Drawing sheets are saved within your design. You can then add, remove, and edit these views, as well as drag them to move them around on the sheet. When you add a new drawing sheet to a design, views of the design are created for you automatically. Working under a windows (8.1) workstation, and must be able to work without an internet connexion at least some of the time (offline)įor now I have installed DesignSpark Mechanical (seems quite good, but not popular ?) and Blender (looks like a pain to master and not sure how to respect mechanical quotes).DS Mechanical helps you create drawing sheets. Needs to design mechanical parts (things like that : With some available online tutorial (really for beginner)

If I suceed in using a demo software and the full version is affordable, why not !) I am looking for a software with the following features, if that exists : I find quite difficult to pick a software among all what is available, so I would be happy to hear about your advices ! I have been playing with my new Zortrax for a few days now (mostly printing other’s STL files…) but now I would like to start designing my own (or at least for the beginning, modifying other’s to adjust to my needs…)

That to say I know hardly anything about 3d models design… for now. I am a hobbyist / maker / artist, with a professionnal electronic and software engineering background.
