create drawing of single components

Anonymous

lets say I have designed a drawer , as in the picture posted ... is there a way of "blowing up" the drawer into the separate boards on a 2d drawing , rather than having the 2d drawing of the assembled drawer? 

 

When wood working, it is best to have the SIMPLEST form of plans so that you definitely dont make cutting errors - it would be best if you would have a 2d drawing of for example "right side" and its dimensions, another (on the same page) "bottom" and its dimensions ecc ... 

is there a way to do this other than doing a separate 2d drawing for each component ? 

thanks

You may want to take a look at Fusion 360's R.U.L.E #1

To create drawings of individual "parts" these need to be components. You can convert bodies into components and for woodworking, it often makes sense to create many pieces of geometry from a single "skeleton" sketch.

 

So the "create component first" described in the first section of rule #1 might not be the best. Pick one of the alternative workflows I list in the rule. I often mix these approaches as needs arise.

Cheers , the above drawer was designed with RULE 1 in mind and if you see the browser in the picture , all sides of the drawer have their own component ... 

 

what I want to do is sort of take each side(component) and create a 2d drawing  of that side individually not as a whole drawer , all on the same 2d drawing sheet

You did not supply your model so I used one of mine.  The process is the same to create a single sheet drawing and place views of multiple components on it.  Take a look at the Screencast.

When working with wood (the cutting phase) , I like having each board drawn out SEPARATE from the whole assembly as it makes it less likely that you make a mistake and use a wrong dimension ... cheers your solution worked perfectly
