PROBLEMS WITH DRAFTING

PROBLEMS WITH DRAFTING

PROBLEMS WITH DRAFTING

(OP)
Hi everybody

It´s possible to  pre-define a personal style in Drafting Workbench to use it every time i start a new draft? Ex: cotes size, thickness line, type of line?.
 

thanks in advance








 

RE: PROBLEMS WITH DRAFTING

You need to set up the XML standards to do this, you'll need catia admin rights to do it from within Catia or an XML editor

RE: PROBLEMS WITH DRAFTING

Or you could just create a personal master buy setting all the parameters the way you like and filing it.

To start a new file, call up your master and then file it with the new part name.  It will retain all the defaults you set.

How do you mean?

RE: PROBLEMS WITH DRAFTING

to sparck:

You first create a drawing as you would like to have it (linethickness, arrowstyles, type of dimension, tolerances and so on...). Use the right mouse button on a any feature on the drawing (e.g. a dimenion) and select "Set as default" to make i default (next dimenion will look as you has described).

Then you save the drawing as "template_drawing" or something

Next time you make a drawing you start with selecting the "New from..." option and then give it a new name.

Hello.

I believe the "set as default" option is gone in R11.
Instead, the XML- standard file have become very powerful,
and let you control everything you need.

I'm using R12 and as you've said, when I right-click on an object, I do see "Set as default" as one of the options listed.  However, it always seems to be grayed out.  Any idea what I might be doing wrong?  If Bjod is correct and DS has gotten rid of the option, wouldn't they have removed it from the menu?

RE: PROBLEMS WITH DRAFTING

the main differnce r11 /r12 in drafting is in the settings.

I mean the standard file. You DO need to define en ENVIRONMENT, and customize your XML files.

Have a look in the online doc or get an ADMIN V5R12 training.

There are plenty of good stuf you can define with an ENVIRONMENT.
