Defining the Drawing Sheet

This task shows you how to define the drawing sheet to be used for creating the views described in further tasks.
1. Click the New icon I_NewP2.gif (233 bytes) from the Standard toolbar or select File -> New... from the menu bar.

 
2. Select Drawing workbench from the List of Types and click OK.
3.  

From the New Drawing dialog box, select the ISO standard, and the A0 ISO format.

In this particular case, and all along the guide, we use the ISO standard.

 

 

You can add an unlimited number of customized standards using Standard files that you will create and/or, if needed, modify. Once created, this standard will appear in the New Drawing dialog box. For more details on standards, see the Standards Administration section. Care that any user-defined standard is based on one of the four international standards (ANSI, ISO, ASME or JIS) as far as basic parameters are concerned.

4.  

In the Generative Drafting workbench, a grid is set by default. Throughout this documentation, we decided not to display the grid. To do this, de-activate the Grid icon from the Tools toolbar (bottom right).

The drawing sheet appears as shown here:

 

From now on, you will work on the created sheet unless you define a new sheet.
