Creating a 2D Component

This task will show you how to create a detail sheet and then position a 2D component on this sheet. This 2D component will then be instantiated on a design drawing sheet.
Differentiating the design sheet from the detail sheet allows assigning a structure to the document. This means separating the drawing elements from the re-usable components.

The newly created detail sheet automatically appears.

 

A view is automatically created at the bottom left corner of the sheet.

If you need to create another new view, click the New View icon from the Drawing toolbar.

A new view appears on the sheet.

 

3. Create a 2D component inside this new view. For example, create two circles on the detail sheet.
