How to use Alibre 2d drawing tools

Tom - give us a bit more of a clue. Are you wanting to produce 2D drawing of an existing model? Do you have some specific question about an aspect of detailing?
The Help is quite good https://help.alibre.com/articles/#!alibre-help-v25/2d-drawings
There are also videos available covering many aspects of 2D (though these are showing their age in places)
Do you have Atom3D or Alibre Design?

Today I'm looking at going from a 3D model to build drawings. I have Alibre Design. I started last night and read all of the Knowledge Base starting at the title '2D Drawings' and finished at the end although some of the last sections were probably not thoughtfully read as after 16 hours I was too tired.
After reading all the notes on the various sections I think I have a better understanding of the product and I have thought of things I might want to try without benefit of a 3D model but that is clearly a very secondary objective.
Thursday when I wrote the query I was looking for a way into the mass of somewhat unconnected notes that seemed to be the 2D drawing documentation. I was seeing the documentation of the 2D product as lots of unorganized web response pages accessible by formulating search queries. Yesterday at about noon I discovered I could click on the little arrow head on the left side of the physical display and it expanded into a list of all the headers in the documentation, i.e. a path through the moras. (I never understand why Alibre likes to keep secret - features that might help someone understand the product.) I would have thought that a one paragraph explanation of the little arrow on the left would have been a very complete answer to my query.
