Organizing Drawing Information

A drawing is a container for information, not a source of data.

  • 2-D and 3-D information can be separated into formats that are most easily updated.

  • 2-D data is typically textual, and can be placed in a separate document format.

In the figures, various pieces of information are organized using color-coding. Items are placed in very specific containers referred to as Combination States within Creo Parametric. Many companies prefer to place various pieces of the 2-D textual data in a document that accompanies the 3-D model or lightweight viewable with the geometry and annotations. This includes, for example, the idea of separate documents for model notes, revision history, title, and signatures.
