thread554-285914: Draw Program

Hi

Is there a way to shift the views in and out of drawing sheet using any drawing program or any other layer tool so that when we select a particular variant out of so many in a model, the corresponding views are visible in the drawing sheet without manual shifting??

Kindly reply or suggest any method to do this.

Thanks in advance.

RE: Drawing Automation

Hai,

yes you can move, hide & show the views, dimensions and notes in drawing sheet automatically using drawing program.

For example: 1
1) Create a part with a hole. Create an Input Parameter "SHOW_HOLE YES_NO" and use that parameter to suppress the hole.
2) Create a drawing of that part, add dimensions to the hole. Create a Drawing State "NO_HOLE"
use Show/Erase to erase the dimensions of the hole.

3) Now, create the following Drawing Program:
IF SHOW_HOLE == NO
SET STATE NO_HOLE
ENDIF

example : 2
1) create a part with few features.
2) create a drawing of that part and dimension it. create a drawing state "A"
-use move, erase views or show and erase dimensions and so on.

3) Now, create the following Drawing Program:
IF FEAT_SUPPRESSED(PARTNAME.PRT,FEAT ID#)
SET STATE A
ENDIF

Hope it will be help full for you.
