How to generate drawings like the published field drawings?

[EricH]

All right, time for someone with some knowledge to chime in... (Though I'm sure Craig Hickman or roboticWanderor or some of the other experts will show up soon.)

Here's the general procedure: Go to "New" and select "Drawing", using your favorite CAD program. Then, import the part/assembly you want (sorry, I don't remember the path--it's usually pretty obvious). Now, create more views--they'll automatically run from the first one.

There may also be an option to create directly from the part. I know Solidworks has this (File->Create Drawing from Part); Inventor might, too, but it's been a while, so I don't know/remember where.

As for the block fill-in, I have no idea how to do that so that it's custom.

And yes, we do have a CAD subforum with specific subforums for three different progams. Any questions on CAD can go there and get a fairly fast response.
