Tspline not transferring to drawing

Currently, when creating a drawing from a design a message dialogue pops up and says that Tsplines, meshes and..... do not transfer to drawings. Why is this and is there a solution?

Right click on your T-Spline and convert it to a B-rep, then it will show up in your drawing.

Ok so what you are saying to do and what the options are do not line up. When converting from a Tspline in the menu it only gives you the option for new body, and the works properly but after I did that on my designed I got this.

That's because your T-Spline is not a closed watertight object it is a surface. You will have to either close it off or use the thicken command on the surface created. Surfaces are infinitely thin and have no volume. You can't create drawings from surfaces only solid bodies as far as I know.

I really wish we could use surfaces in a drawing...I use that feature in Solidworks all the time for my laser engraving...
