Hi, I need some help regarding draf

Hi, I need some help regarding draf

Hi, I need some help regarding draf

(OP)
Hi, I need some help regarding drafting in CATIA V5, I modified existing macro for title block, but was not unable to control frame and title block line thickness and font? Is there any option in CATIA to control these parameters, to bold some text in Title Block ?
I modified existing ISO Drafting standard, and created some drawings before this modification, now this standard does not update already drawn dimensions like arrow size, arrow style, Dimension font size, dimension font style, view line thicknes etc. Is there any option to update already existing dimensions to new standard or I have to draw all views and dimensions again ?
Anxiously waiting for kind reply.
Thanking in anticipation.

RE: Hi, I need some help regarding draf

once a drawing is created the standard is included in the file. If you change the standard in the catia env it does not change the standard in the file.

You need to update the file with the new standard. Select the sheet and check the page setup.

Thank u @itsmyjob. When I update standard it updates line thickness, but does not update text style, font size, arrow style etc. Does there any code in CATIA files which dictate these parameters? Ok thank you I will try to update standard after selecting sheet.
