For the following views, the display can be exported with a sketch frame or with a sketch frame and integrated BOM-list.

  • 3 views + isometric drawing in frame (ANSI)

  • 3 views + isometric drawing in frame (DIN)

  • 3 views + isometric drawing in frame (JIS)

  • 6 views + isometric drawing in frame (JIS)

  • 3 views + bill of material in frame (ANSI)

  • 3 views + bill of material in frame (DIN)

[Note]Note

Depending on type the respective paper formats are displayed. On this see under Section 3.1.10.1.2.2.2, “Adjust paper format in 2D view”.

The following adjustments may be made:

See the following sections for more information.

3.1.10.1.2.2.2. Adjust paper format in 2D view

Select the desired format in the list field under Paper formats (either A0 to A4 for DIN or A to E for ANSI)[101]

Select paper format

Select paper format

Paper format A3 -> Default scaling 2:1

Paper format A3 -> Default scaling 2:1

Paper format A4 -> Default scaling 1:2

-> Scaling is adjusted automatically. As described under Section 3.1.10.1.2.2.1, “ Scale, position sketch elements in 2D view”, you may change it.




[100] The possible scales are administratively defined in the configuration file. See Section 1.6.5.2, “ 2dscales.cfg - Apply scale for 2D view ” in PARTsolutions Administration - Manual .

[101] Default values for the paper formats are specified in the configuration file. See Section 7.11, “Docking window "2D derivation " - Create your own combination views (*.dw) ” in eCATALOGsolutions - Manual.
