# Shop Drawing Configuration

**Truss+** will collect all elements from a truss and make an assembly with predefined views, add dimensions, add tags, make sheets, and put the views into the sheets

• Select **Shop Drawing Configuration** function directly from **Truss+** menu

*The basic shop drawing workflow consists of the following steps:*

1. *Truss+ → define **Drawing Configuration***
2. *Truss+ → make shop drawings for one or multiple trusses using **Create Assembly***
3. *Truss+ → number the framing members using **Sort Trusses***
4. *Drag shop drawing views onto the sheet for one assembly and save it as a sheet template*
5. *Truss+ → make shop drawings for other truss segments*
6. *Truss+ → update shop drawings if any changes have been made to the mode*

* Configurations can be saved, duplicated, renamed, and deleted
* You can check the location of configurations under **Current Configuration Location**:

### EXPORT TO CNC

Trusses created with **Truss+** may be exported for production to various CNC machines or CAD/CAM production lines. Optional CNC export eliminates duplicate work and reduces the margin of error. It is a major advantage for integrated workflow.

For more details about **Export to CNC** functionality please contact customer support.
