SmartDraw Mechanical Engineering Tutorial

Opening a Mechanical Engineering Template

When you start SmartDraw, you'll begin on the Document Browser. On the left side of the screen is the SmartTemplate List, in the center is the Preview Area, and on the right is the SmartHelp. In the SmartTemplate List, click Engineering.

SmartDraw offers SmartTemplates with special settings to facilitate the creation of the diagram for which each is intended. To create a Mechanical Engineering Diagram, we will begin with the Blank Engineering Diagram SmartTemplate. Remember, even though it's blank, this SmartTemplate will make creating the Mechanical Engineering Diagram fast and easy!

To use a SmartTemplate, simply click on it. It will open into the program screen with all the settings properly configured. Now you can easily customize text, symbols, and schematics.
