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
- Set the page format for plotter drawings

- Click File menu > Page setup, specify the page format on the Page tab of the Page setup dialog, and click OK.
- Refresh the contents of the edit window by clicking (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.
- Grouping of drawings; beside the cursor, a rectangle displays, symbolizing the page size of the inserted drawing; under the cursor, a tooltip displays the drawing page number.
The default cursor grid is 4mm x 4mm.
To move the cursor in slow mode, press and hold CTRL.
To skip a page and insert the next page, press ESC.
