New document

This command allows you to create a new TopSolid document (part, assembly, draft, material, family, etc.).

Creation Stages / Use:

Click the icon on the Home > New Document... tab.

Select among the various tabs the document type to be created.
If several projects are opened, select the destination project in the drop-down list (bottom left).
Depending on the type of document to create, select, if necessary, the document template in the right window.
Validate with .

Only open projects appear in the drop-down list of destination projects.
If the document is created from the project popup menu, the destination project will be grayed out and will be the displayed project.
The last document template used is proposed when a new document of the same type is created.

Besides formats, 2 types of templates are proposed as standard for drafts.

Draft for Part: Detailed draft with, among others, hidden strokes and visible threading.
Draft for Assembly: Faster draft without visible hidden strokes or threading representation. With this template, if the threading must be displayed, the style of the view must be modified and the threading must be changed to precise mode.

This command is also available by contextual menu from the project or one of its folders.

Available options:

Creation of a Document Template: You can create different types of templates.

- The project document template is created by dragging the document to the Project Templates folder.
- My templates are created by opening my templates. These can only be used by the user that created them.
- Company templates are created by opening the company templates. These templates exist only in client/server mode.

TopSolid templates cannot be modified.
