PROBLEMS WITH DRAFTING 1

[virial]

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

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

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?

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?

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.
