How to show coating on techdraw

Post by jasonlee524 »

I drew a mandrel for machining. However, i need to draw a coating layer on top of the steel shank. I made the drawing but when i go to techdraw model. It cannot show both at the same time as Solidworks and other software. Anyone know how to show both the steel shank and coating layers at the same time in tech draw?

Thanks in advance,

I have uploaded the drawings.

Sure it can. You just have to tell it that you want two objects drawn at the same time.
