tbl_model : DRW_CREATE

Overview​

This video demonstrates the tbl_model DRW_CREATE command in Nitro-CELL, which creates Creo drawings for models listed in an Excel table. For each model row in the table, the command generates a new drawing using a specified template, automating what would otherwise be a repetitive manual process of creating drawings one at a time. This is especially valuable when onboarding a batch of new parts or assemblies that all need drawings. The video shows how to configure the table with model names and drawing templates, execute the command, and verify the drawings were created.

Key Steps​

  1. Create an Excel table with model names and drawing template specifications
  2. Ensure all target models are accessible in the Creo session
  3. Enter the tbl_model DRW_CREATE command referencing the table
  4. Execute the command to create drawings for all listed models
  5. Verify the drawings were created and associated with the correct models

Tips​

  • Specify the drawing template to ensure consistent formatting across all drawings
  • Models must be accessible for Creo to generate their drawings
  • Combine with DRW_EXPORT commands to create and export drawings in one workflow
