V5 Drawing custom sheet size

V5 Drawing custom sheet size

(OP)
Hello everyone,
I would like to create a sheet of 36inx100in for our drawings.  Does anybody know how to define custom sheet size in the drafting workbench?  I tried running in admin mode and access the XML standards but I don't seem to find any parameter for the sheet size.

Thanks in advance.

RE: V5 Drawing custom sheet size

Hi Alex,
One way is to use a macro..and..
..if you would try this link:
http://www.caav5.com
somewhere deep there you will find references to
"CatPaperSize" and
"CatPaperUser"
Good Luck,
Sincerely,
Mircea

RE: V5 Drawing custom sheet size

Hello,
easy way to create user specific size for drawing is:
File/Page Setup
In Format field type User36x100 and press TAB-key
then Width and Height fields will activate.

Regards TPale

RE: V5 Drawing custom sheet size

Hi Alex Laurenceau,we can set sheet height and width as Tpale said manually,and we can set itz format by macro also as Alex said:

macro is like this

Set DrawingDocument1 = CATIA.ActiveDocument

Set DrawingSheets1 = DrawingDocument1.Sheets

Set DrawingSheet1 = DrawingSheets1.Item("Sheet.1")

DrawingSheet1.PaperSize = CatPaperUser
DrawingSheet1.SetPaperHeight 800mm
DrawingSheet1.SetPaperWidth 1150mm

Hope it works for u

bye
