-In order to do anything you need to setup your project file. By creating this you can more easily keep track of just project X or project Y and have them on the same machine.

 To add contents to a drawing file, first&nbsp;import the "base view" of each&nbsp;.ipt file for the parts you want to add&nbsp;(right click,&nbsp;then select "base view", then select your file). &nbsp;Then choose&nbsp;a 2D perspective&nbsp;of the part to display&nbsp;in the schematic. &nbsp;Some of these perspectives include: Top, Left, Right, Back, and Bottom. For''3D designs'', you will usually show 3&nbsp;perspectives, the top, the broad side, and the short side (x, y, and z, essentially). &nbsp;Any unique part of a&nbsp;component or set of components should be highlighted from its most descriptive angle. &nbsp;It is essential that the drawings give&nbsp;anyone with the schematic enough information&nbsp;to understand and/or physically&nbsp;create the the full part or set of parts. &nbsp;Essential information may include: a bill of materials, material types, special notes, cut-outs and insets ("details"), and most importantly, your&nbsp;parts'&nbsp;dimensions'''.'''

 <span style="line-height: 20.8px;">The most important information you can include in a drawing file is its dimensioning. &nbsp;This is essential for understanding and crafting the parts in your drawing in the real world. &nbsp;You can annotate most of this information using the Dimension&nbsp;tool, under the "Annotate" section.</span>
