Drawing Tools

Opening a drawing switches to the technical drawings workbench. Its toolbar acts on the page instead of the model — Select, Dimension, and Text share a name with a modeling tool but do a different job here.

ToolShortcutWhat it does on a drawing
SelectPick and drag views, text notes, and dimensions around the page.
ProjectionDrop a projection of a body or sketch onto the page.
Aligned viewAdd a projection lined up with an existing one.
DimensionDShow or hide a view's length, diameter, and angle dimensions.

The Drawings page covers the sheet itself: creating one, page size, exporting, and scripting.
