Note: This is specialized functionality for component drawings used in Toolmaker.
You can make the following changes to component drawing templates:
- If the template has a view called Bitmap Viewthen the component drawing is placed at the position of Bitmap View, indicated by
in the image below.You can create multiple views by adding a suffix to the name of the view. For example Bitmap View_1, Bitmap View_2. The template above provides for a single view, so in this case, Bitmap View is placed on the drawing. Bitmap View_1 and Bitmap View_2 are placed on a new drawing.
- If a text exists that starts Parameter table position then the parameter table is placed at that position. In the template shown below, this is indicated by
. The maximum height of the table can be given by having End as the final part of that text item. - For components with a trimmed length parameter, a table is produced of the trimmed lengths if a text exists that starts Trimmed table position. In the template above, this is indicated by
in the image shown below. - If a template drawing exists that has the same name as the component, that drawing is used. For example, if a drawing called Ejector plate exists in the template model then all ejector plates use that drawing. There can be several related drawings (for example, Ejector plate_1, Ejector plate_2), in which case the drawing that gives the best view, in terms of scaling, is displayed.
