Paper drawings typically represent two-dimensional views of three-dimensional entities. With IntelliCAD® 2001, you can create three-dimensional models of three-dimensional entities.
This section explains how to:
The tools and commands for many of the functions described in this section appear on the Draw 3D toolbar and the Insert menu, respectively, when you set the program to the Advanced experience level.
