Saving and reusing drawing view settings by model type

The drawing view properties and formatting that you select when placing drawing views can be saved and applied to another set of drawing views created for the same type of model.

• You can save these instructions using the Drawing View Creation Wizard (Saved Settings) dialog box, which you can open using the Saved Settings button on the View Wizard command bar.

• Manual selection—You can select and apply a saved setting to a drawing view using the Saved Setting list on the View Wizard command bar.

• Automatic reuse—You can specify that saved settings are applied automatically by mapping saved settings to specific model types. You can further categorize assembly models by model size, as defined by the number of occurrences in the assembly.

  • Part

  • Sheet metal

  • Assembly (small)

  • Assembly (medium)

  • Assembly (large)

• You can define the model type and size, and map the saved settings to them, using the Drawing View Wizard tab (QY CAD Options dialog box).

Saved settings include all of the information captured in the Drawing View Creation Wizard dialog boxes (properties, view orientation, drawing view layout), as well as the drawing view size, scale, shading, and edge color set on the View Wizard command bar. Only drawing view captions are not included, as they are specified by the Drawing View style.
