Drawings
The 2D profile drawings behind extrusions, revolves, lofts and curves — how to draw them, where they are stored, and how to get one back from a 3D shape.
A drawing is a 2D profile. Extrusions, revolves, lofts and curves are all built from one. You draw in the Drawing Editor. Every drawing in the model is kept in the Drawing Browser, and a drawing can be recovered from the section of a 3D shape.
