Which engineering tasks are included in document and deliver?

Create model-linked drawings, Review engineering documentation, Prepare supported exports.

Which zCAD products support this workflow?

zCAD.Online supports selected tasks described on this page. Product fit depends on the workflow and capabilities confirmed for your team.

Can internal teams and external partners review the same CAD data?

Yes. Use the browser-based zCAD workspace and review tools to share current design context, inspect geometry, collect feedback, and reduce uncontrolled copies where the selected product and permissions support it.

Document engineering work and deliver product information

Engineering documentation and delivery

Document and Deliver

Turn approved 3D product data into model-linked drawings and supported engineering delivery formats.

Model-linked drawings

Reviewed annotations

Supported delivery output

Workflow friction

Engineering documentation fails when it drifts from approved CAD.

Drawings and delivery files are often reviewed separately from the source model. Every design change then creates another round of manual comparison and release risk.

Documents follow separate timelines

The model changes first while drawings and technical content wait for manual revision.

Annotations lose model context

Dimensions and notes become harder to verify when reviewers cannot see the current source geometry.

Delivery context varies by site

Different teams and locations receive inconsistent models, drawings, and exchange files.

Model to release

Connect approved CAD to documentation and delivery.

The sequence begins with the approved model, creates the required communication, and maintains it as the engineering state changes.

Approve the source

Begin from the current reviewed model and release context.

Create the output

Build the model-linked drawing or prepare the required supported export.

Review the package

Confirm the content, version, audience, and delivery format.

Publish and maintain

Deliver the supported output and update it when the source changes.

Technical output

Create engineering drawings and delivery output from approved product data.

Create model-linked drawing views, dimensions, and annotations, then review and export the supported output required downstream.

Create model-linked engineering drawings from approved CAD

Create model-linked drawings

Build views, dimensions, annotations, and manufacturing information from the working 3D model.

Standardize technical documentation and delivery output

Review engineering documentation

Check drawing views, dimensions, annotations, and the source model version before delivery.

Prepare supported CAD and drawing delivery output

Prepare supported exports

Deliver the required CAD, drawing, or exchange format for the next engineering step.

Approved communication

Publish technical information from the approved design.

Drawings, illustrations, instructions, and delivery packages inherit a clear relationship to the current model so downstream teams receive consistent engineering information.

Common questions

Questions to answer before changing the workflow.

Review product fit, data boundaries, collaboration roles, and the expected engineering handoff before you begin.

Open Help Center

Ready when the project is

Document the product from the product itself.

Create drawings and supported delivery files from the current model so downstream information stays aligned with the engineering state.
