This link is to the PTC website where they explain the new '3D drawing' capabilities: Basically, it boils down to how to use the new ANSI Y14.41-2003 drawing standard to capture design data by minimally dimensioning the model and for the remainder, showing and referencing the model data directly. They claim to be the first modelling system to do this.
