Tekla Fabrication Drawings

Fabrication drawings is a new, more efficient and straightforward method for creating single-part, assembly and cast unit drawings. It is a combination of the existing tools for creating single-part, assembly and cast unit drawings and the new functionality that reduces the amount of repetitive work in the drawing creation process.

Similarly to the current functionality, you can create drawings by using saved settings predefined for different model objects, or by using existing drawings in your model as templates. What is new in the fabrication drawings functionality is that it provides better management capabilities over the creation process, allowing you to select settings for every individual model object or, alternatively, select the best matching drawing template automatically detected in the current model.

The new functionality provides the following benefits:

  • Automatic selection of the best matching drawing in the current model
  • Mass creation of drawings in one click by using different drawing templates or saved settings
  • Simplified workflow and user interface
  • Flexible control over creation methods
  • Possibility to create drawings for all objects included in an assembly or cast unit
