You can create an automated drawing set for an assembly in Fusion.
00:08
After analyzing a 3D model,
00:10
Fusion automatically generates the necessary 2D views, dimensions, and other details required to manufacture the part.
00:19
This speeds up the workflow and reduces potential errors that can arise as a result of manual input.
00:26
From the Data Panel, open the desired assembly.
00:30
In this example, the assembly is a grinder vise with a number of parts and fasteners.
00:37
To create a set of automated drawings from this assembly, from the Workspace menu, select Drawing > From Design.
00:46
In the Create Drawing dialog, select Automatic.
00:52
In this case, the Sheet Count updates to show that 12 sheets will be created from this full assembly.
00:59
Next, expand the Template drop-down and select From Scratch.
01:05
Keep in mind that the Basic Drawing Template is not designed to create individual object sheets.
01:12
Here, leave the Standard set to ASME and the Unit set to inches, and then select a Sheet Size.
01:21
In this case, C is selected.
01:25
Leave the Orientation at Landscape and for Structure, because this is not a nested assembly, First Level is sufficient.
01:34
Click OK.
01:37
This will initiate the automated drawing creation sequence.
01:41
You can see the progress of the drawing automation at the bottom of the Data Panel.
01:47
Once the process is complete, a drawing is saved and available from the Data Panel.
01:54
Right-click the new drawing and select Open.
01:58
The drawing opens, and as you can see, there are 12 sheets.
02:03
Based on your preferences, the initial setup of the drawing may need some modifications.
02:09
For example, to change the style of the view, double-click the view in the drawing.
02:16
In the Drawing View dialog, make the necessary adjustments, such as changing the Edge Visibility settings.
02:24
When you are finished, Close the dialog.
02:27
Be aware that, in some cases, updating the view can change the way the balloons display.
02:34
These can be removed and then added again in the appropriate locations.
