Sheet metal drawings in ISO format

Sheet metal drawings in ISO format

Sheet metal drawings in ISO format

(OP)
Hi everyone,

Has anyone found out how to make sheet metal drawings apprear in a more ISO friendly format - Right now my drawings are a mixture of green and white lines.  More over the hidden lines are not dahsed but dim.

I have a feeling that there is a file somewhere that controls all this.

Hope you can help.

Best regards,

Alistair

.dtl files control drafting file configurations.

Right click outside your drawing border and look at Properties->Drawing Options.

RE: Sheet metal drawings in ISO format

The green lines represent the "good side" of the sheet metal part, the "white lines" are the opposite side.

This is standard ProE sheet metal, but prints always show up as gray scale.

As for the hidden lines, just change your disp view setting for all the select views.

You can also change the default sheetmetal color (from green to whatever you wish) in the systems color menu. This affects the wireframe and drawing edge colors.
