Creo 8 Automotive 2D Drawings

My team is finalising a complete automotive body and the immediate task is to generate production-ready 2D drawings directly in Creo 8, then check them into our Windchill vault. All source files, 3D geometry and drafting standards are already prepared; what I need is disciplined drawing creation, clear detailing and smooth Windchill handling.

Scope
• Full body coverage — exterior panels, structural members, weld points, mounting brackets and any ancillary features that appear in the native models.
• Drawings must satisfy our automotive dimensioning, GD&T and title-block conventions.
• Windchill will be the single source of truth, so every drawing must be uploaded, correctly numbered and released through the standard lifecycle states.

Workflow
1. Receive the latest Creo 8 models and company templates.
2. Produce the corresponding .drw files, complete with BOM balloons and callouts.
3. Generate PDF plots for quick reviews.
4. Check the drawings into Windchill; resolve any integrity or naming warnings before moving to the next revision.
5. Implement mark-ups returned through Windchill until final approval.

Deliverables
• Native Creo 8 .drw files for every component and assembly in the body set
• Associated PDFs
• All items properly released in Windchill with clean check-in history

Acceptance Criteria
• No Windchill validation errors
• Compliance with supplied drafting standard (tolerance scheme, view layout, note formatting)
• PDF and .drw match one-to-one on revision and metadata

Owning a valid Creo 8 licence and proven experience with Windchill are essential for this collaboration. If that matches your setup, the models are ready and we can begin as soon as you confirm availability.
