Generating Deferred Drawings

Drawings that have been flagged as "Deferred" can be generated by one of the following methods:

  • Manual

    There are two places where models can be manually generated:

    • Inside SOLIDWORKS

      From the DriveWorks add in inside SOLIDWORKS, select the Generate Models icon. A list appears with all of the models in the queue. The option to Show Deferred Drawings is active if any deferred drawings exist. Checking this option will allow all deferred drawings to be generated.

    • Inside DriveWorks Autopilot
  • Through DriveWorks Autopilot

    The model generation queue in DriveWorks Autopilot will pick up on drawings that have had their Deferred Flag cleared.

    These will be generated in date order but also adhere to the tags applied to them at the time of release.

  • Data Management

    Data Management has the ability to remove the deferred flag. Once removed the drawing can be generated using the manual or DriveWorks Autopilot methods above.
