1. A computer implemented method comprising:
- running in a computing device an application for creating or manipulating engineering drawings that are created from model data of a model and stored to drawing data of the model, which model data comprises a plurality of parts to model one or more structures, the model being displayable in a three-dimensional model view that is different from engineering drawings;
detecting, by the computing device, in an engineering drawing, drawing content, which relates to at least one of the plurality of parts, is additional information to the model data, and stored to the drawing data;
creating, by the computing device, in response to the detecting, a digital twin of the drawing content, wherein the digital twin is a separate piece that is not in the engineering drawing but has its counterpart drawing content in the engineering drawing;
determining, by the computing device, at least identifying information of the at least one of the plurality of parts, and location information of the at least one of the plurality of parts in a global three-dimensional coordinate system of the model to determine three-dimensional coordinates for the counterpart drawing content; and
publishing the digital twin of the drawing content with the three-dimensional coordinates and the identifying information of the at least one of the plurality of parts without changing the counterpart drawing content in the engineering drawing.

Abstract
To enable to display one or more drawing content, which have been created during defining one or more engineering drawings from a model which comprises one or more parts to model one or more structures, digital twins of the one or more drawing content with associated information are created and published. The associated information of the digital twin comprises three-dimensional coordinates for the drawing content in question, determined based on one or more parts, to which the drawing content relates, and identifying information of said one or more parts.
