initial dwg/boder setup
initial dwg/boder setup
(OP)
Can anyone point me to some documentation on how to create drawings with company border/title blocks. I don't beleive that our current setup was done properly and as a result you can not change drawing size (say from a b-size to c-size) in mid stream without starting a new dwg and copy/paste geometry from one dwg to another. The problem with this method is that the views lose their links with each other. I know that in other cad packages, if set up correctly, dwg sizes can be changed mid stream by simply changing the sheet size. We have no technical support in this area so I need help!
Thanks,
Mike

You could cut and paste the desired drawing boarder into the dwg you are working on.
We took the included CATIA Dwg Boarder script and revised it to suit our company.
The dwg boarder should be placed into the sheet background.
You can install or resize the boarder via the included CATIA dwg boarder script.
There are supposed to be better or more robust scripts out there, and, it would appear that different drawing boarder sizes could be catalog items. We don't have access to those methods.

Typically, to change the paper size, use File + Page Setup and choose the new paper size. Then, switch to the Background, and run the Frame & Titleblock utility to resize the border.
