Using Quicksheet templates


For QY CAD 3D models, the Quicksheet template is a special kind of template that you can use to quickly generate 3D views. The Quicksheet template is a drawing template that contains drawing views that are not linked to a model. When you open a document using a Quicksheet template, it looks something like the following:

You can drag a model from the Library docking window or from Windows Explorer onto the template, and the views populate with the model.

To create a Quicksheet template, configure drawing views of the type and with the properties you want, then select the Create Quicksheet Template command. A message box is displayed advising you to save your current work before the drawing views are emptied. When you click Yes, you can save the file with the name and location you want, and the Quicksheet template is ready for use. When you create a Quicksheet template, all drawing views on all sheets are emptied, including parts lists. Almost all view properties, including general properties, text and color properties, and annotation properties, are maintained.
