Creating a dimensional drawing from a manufacturing model

[Anonymous]

Hi, 

Relative beginner here so apologize ahead of time, I did my best to search for this answer to no avail. I created a mouse maze for a gift and constructed it in fusion out of .4 inch plywood because that's what I have. I used the Nesting feature to create an arrangement on the size of plywood I have so I would know how to best cut the wood. Only problem is I would really like to create a dimensional drawing as a guide for sketching it out on the wood. The only option is to create dimension drawings from the design tab. Any ideas? The layout is totally different of my manufacturing model so creating a design printout wouldn't be helpful.

It would also be nice to potentially print it out at actual size and glue it to the piece of wood itself. Then take a jig saw and go to town.

I'm not sure that's going to be possible. But, could you share your file here and I'll poke at it a bit?

Hi @Anonymous , You can enable the Arrange feature to the Modify menu in the Design workspace, and create an arrange in your design so that you can create a dimension drawings from the design. Hope can help you.

Thank you very much this worked perfectly!

Thank you very much for the offer, the arrange feature in the design panel is exactly what I needed. I appreciate your willingness to help!

Hi, yes although I didn’t get it printed full size. I just referenced it and plotted the relative distances on the plywood so it all fit economically on one sheet of wood.
