As of version x.x.x, you can now create fully dimensioned drawings of your design, and store them directly within your PDA file or export them to PDF format!

Getting Started

To get started with dimension drawings, just open an enclosure and click the Drawing button on the main toolbar, under the File tab.

Dimensioned Views Creator Dialog

Once you click Create Drawing it will take a moment to generate views for your design, and the following dialog will open:

By default, the initial page Designer will generate will be for the full assembly with all view orientations, including isometric.

In addition to the assembly page, it will create a page for each part in your design, with all view orientations.

Changing Page Size & Scale

The page size and scale can be changed using the options in the toolbar.

For page sizing, it comes with all of the common page sizes pre-defined, you just need to select the one you want from the drop down menu.

For page scale, just enter your preferred scale into the text box and hit enter. Note, page scale must be a whole number. Decimal values will not work
