You can use the Create 3D command to create dimensioned sketches in a part, sheet metal, or assembly document from 2D drawing geometry in a draft document. You can create a new model from the sketches, and you can add sketches to an existing model. This can be useful when:

• You have legacy 2D drawings for which you need a 3D model.

• You want to update a 3D model with the manufacturing dimensions on a drawing.

When you select the Create 3D command, the Create 3D dialog box guides you through the process of:

• Adding geometry and dimensions to a new model document.

  

• Adding geometry and dimensions to an existing model document.
