Swapping out Formats

[wildmodeler]

Hello, We have been working on a project and making lots of drawing packages. Now the customer has a new format he wants to use. Is there an easy way of swapping out the drawing formats without having to retype all the parameters?


Thanks

Hi,

If the parameter values are same for all the drawing.

Create a MAPKEY for swapping the formats and entering all the parameters values and use it.

I hope this will reduce the work.

Typically the parameters in the format are pulled from the model and are filled in automatically on a format swap. The other thing you could do is simply name the new format the same as the old format and it will be read in when the drawing is opened. The only problem with this is any tables in the format are copied into the drawing so if they have been moved around things will be out of location. This will work fine for things like new logo etc.
