The Drafting workbench allows you to automatically generate engineering drawings
from CATIA Part and Assembly documents.

Engineering drawings generated using this workbench are associative, i. e. any change in
the geometry of original Part or Assembly will be reflected in the drawings.
You can generate associative dimensions on these drawings.
You can use company standard templates to generate the drawings, and also you can dress-
up the drawings with annotations consistent with the company standards.

The Generative Drafting workbench and the Interactive Drafting workbench are
launched, and look, the same way.  The Generative Drafting workbench allows you to
generate views from the 3D models and to automatically dimension.  The Interactive
Drafting workbench creates 2D drawings that are not based on 3D models and will not
auto-dimension.  Typically when creating a drawing, both workbenches are used in some
way.
First lets take a look at how to access the Drafting workbench.
