The purpose of creating a baseline is to freeze any kind of structure (a part or a CAD document) along with all the documents belonging to that structure to which the baseline creator has access.

By creating a baseline, you can:

• save a specific version of a document at a certain moment in time,
• keep a record of how the design evolved,
• prevent a structure from being overwritten by future changes,
• create an official version to share with someone outside the Organization.

The FAQ document below will present the concept, describing its purpose, use, behaviour and consequences.
