Saving DRW files in PROE not related to the model.

[2371151]

Is it possible to save a Proe Drawing that is not associated to the model?
Sometimes I just need to send the drawing. Sending all the PARTS and ASSEMBLIES can be to heavy and not necesary.

Thank you.

If you want to send out a Pro/E drawing without parts and assemblies, export them as a DXF, DWG, IGES etc.
You can even export them and after that import them into a new Pro/E drawing that doesn't have any 3D models attached.

To Display a Drawing in View-Only Mode
1. Save existing display information by selecting Save Display from the Environment dialog box or setting the configuration file option save_display to yes. To regenerate an entire view or the display for the current sheet (or all sheets), click View > Update.

2. Click File > Save to save your drawing with the display information you need.

3. Click File > Open; then click and select the Retrieve Drawing as View Only option from the list.

4. Retrieve the drawing. The system displays the drawing in View-Only mode. Choose Sheet from the VIEWONLY DRW menu to switch to another sheet.

5. To determine if any display information is missing, click Info > Session Info. If all information is there, the system displays a message. If any is missing, it displays a text window, identifying the missing information.

This format help for view and printing only.

Also you can use this simple method

To Create a Snapshot of a View
1. Choose VIEWS > Modify View > Snapshot.

2. Specify view(s) by doing one of the following:

- Choose All Views to make snapshots of all views of all models in the drawing. Since draft entities are associated only with the first model of a drawing, the first model must be the active model for you to be able to manipulate the resulting draft entities.

- Choose Pick View. In a multimodel drawing, this command makes snapshots of views of the current model only.

3. As you select each view, confirm that you would like to convert it to draft entities.

Note: After you create a snapshot, the display of view arrows might change.

Converting to PDF works well for this. If you don't know how here is one way.
