Using the Robot software, you can group drawings generated for an RC structure in smaller format (such as A4) in a drawing of greater format (such as A2). The process consists of 2 steps:
Generating a drawing in a smaller format
- Set the page format for plotter drawings
- Click Window menu > Add view > Drawings to display a window with a blank drawing page.
- Click File menu > Page setup, specify the page format on the Page tab of the Page setup dialog, and click OK.
- Close the Drawings edit window.
- Calculate an RC structure element.
- Open the drawing.
- Click File menu > Save.
Grouping drawings

(Zoom All). - ClickView menu > Arrange Drawings Automatically.
- Open the drawings saved in smaller format - click Insert menu > Drawing, and select a drawing in the dialog.
