This task shows you how to insert a frame and a title block
in the background of a sheet. |
|
This operation is performed using a macro. A few macros are provided by
default. You can customize frames and title blocks by either modifying the
default macros (to add actions) or creating your own macros (to add
specific formats). For more information on how to do this, refer to
Creating a Frame and a Title Block in the Interactive Drafting User's
Guide. |
|
Open the
GenDrafting_part.CATDrawing document. |
|
-
Select Edit > Background.
-
Click Frame Creation
in the Drawing toolbar.
OR
Select Insert > Drawing > Frame and Title Block.
The Insert Frame and Title Block dialog box is
displayed.
-
Choose a macro from the Style of Titleblock
drop-down list. For the purpose of this exercise, choose
Drawing_Titleblock_Sample1. A preview of the frame and title block is
displayed in the dialog box.
-
Indicate the action you want to perform in the
Action list.
-
Creation: creates the frame and the title
block.
-
Deletion: deletes the frame and the title
block.
-
Resizing: resizes and updates the frame and
the title block (if you change the page format in File > Page
Setup).
-
Update: updates the frame and title block,
as well as the fields in the title block (part-related and
sheet-related information).
-
CheckedBy: completes the "Checked by" field
and automatically update the verification date.
-
AddRevisionBlock: adds a revision block.
|
Information which is not available in the part will be
substituted by "XXX" in the drawing. |
-
Click OK in the Insert Frame and Title
Block dialog box.
|
|
When the Frame Creation icon
is activated, you cannot edit the views. Use Edit > Working Views
when you need to work on views. |
|
When adding sheets, if you want the frame and title block to appear in
newly created sheets, go to Tools > Options > Mechanical
Design > Drafting > Layout tab. Select the
Copy background view check box and the First sheet option.
This will insert the frame and title block from the sheet you previously
created on the current drawing. |
