Yes, but it requires some upfront work to create the drawing templates with the required elements.

 

If you are asking is there an out of the box Creo function to automatically create drawings by only referencing a model, the answer is no.

Create a mapkey to create a drawing of a part and run this mapkey, on instances of selected parts in distributed batch.

 

I have something like that for creating dxf files with flat views of the selected instances and it works great.

However, I still have to put it through the distributed batch.

Try please try my code:

 

  • 4 mapkeys, trail file
  • to make it work you have to modify it - template files, trail file location, and so on

 

Godspeed

Yes, there is no button to do this.
But you don‘t need any special Drawing Template.

Just replace the drawing model by the requested instance. You can do this before you had copied the drawing, or do it after 😉

If you have now have some programming know how, read the family table instance information and write a loop via mapkeys or trail file. That’s it!


In Tcl less than 40 lines of code.

 

Have Fun!
