How do I automatically create multiple 2D working drawings in IronCAD?

The Bulk Drawing feature lets you generate multiple drawings at once. You choose a template and IronCAD automatically adds views, dimensions and parts lists.

Can I use my own templates for 2D drawings?

Yes. You can modify an existing .icd file to match your corporate identity (logo, parts list position, views, dimensions) and save it in the Bulk Drawing folder.

How does linking 3D designs to 2D working drawings work?

After you create a 3D model, invoke the template file through Bulk Drawing. You can choose a different template for each part or assembly.

Can I set one default template for all drawings?

Yes. IronCAD allows you to choose a default Bulk Drawing template, so you don’t have to select a file every time.
