Important Notes

  • Separate layers should be maintained for the layout objects – the title block and the Draw View frames – and the objects in the editor. Draw layouts can then be isolated prior to printing.
  • A New Draw View should be created of all objects which are to be printed or inserted into a title block. This should be done on a layer specifically created for the layout.
  • A title block can be inserted from the Concept Explorer > Symbols menu. The title block should be inserted onto the approximate intersection of the drawing axis. To display the axis, go to View > Show Axis.
  • Each Draw View frame can then be inserted into the title block by creating a pick box window around the frame and using the Gripper to relocate and reposition the frame in the title block.
  • Changes and additions done to the sketch or model objects in the editor will automatically update in the Draw View frames. Please note, if the objects are moved around in the editor, then it may be necessary to pan or zoom within the Draw View frame.
  • Layer visibility, ratio scale etc of the contents of each Draw View can be independently controlled by double clicking into the top left corner of the frame. Different views and rendering options can also be selected for specific frames.
