Retrieve the Drawing of the Active Model

Jul 4, 2026

Open the drawing associated with the currently active part or assembly with a single Mapkey.

This free utility provides a convenient RD (Retrieve Drawing) Mapkey that automatically searches for and opens a drawing with the same name as the active Creo model. It eliminates repetitive browsing and manual file selection, making it faster to switch between 3D models and their corresponding drawings.

The package includes:

  • Ready-to-use RD Mapkey configuration
  • Installation instructions
  • Simple setup guide
  • YouTube video demonstrating the installation and workflow

The accompanying YouTube video explains how the Mapkey works, how to install it, and how to customize it to match your own Creo environment and file management workflow.

Whether you’re reviewing designs, updating documentation, or creating manufacturing drawings, this utility helps streamline your daily work in Creo.

A simple shortcut that takes you from model to drawing with a single keystroke.
