Definition of the noun:

 

The name definition is used to concatenate variables and information (character string), (See Generate fields).


Location:

For each part or assembly file in the list, a drawing is created. The save directory can be that of the 3D document, or can be specified by the user. .


Configuration Management:

  • If the 3D document contains configurations, selecting this icon allows you to request the creation of:
    • a drawing of the active configuration
    • one sheet per configuration
    • a drawing generated by configuration

In the latter case, you can add the configuration name to the document name.

For example, the part file “Corps-300. sldprt” contains 4 configurations (Default, Long=66, Long=70, Long=80). If the “Create one drawing per configuration” option is checked, this will result in the creation of 4 files:

300-Body-Default.slddrw, 300-Body-Long=66.slddrw, 300-Body-Long=70.slddrw, 300-Body-Long=80.slddrw


 


Listing Options:

selecting this icon allows you to select the types of entities that will be inserted or added automatically. The dialog box is divided into three parts:

    • " Part" Document Objects, This involves inserting objects such as dimensions for drafting, drilling wizard dimensions, sheet metal annotations, reference dimensions, or even preferences such as drawing dimensions, temporary axis display, etc..


    


    • " Assembly " Document Objects, This involves inserting objects such as dimensions for drafting, drilling wizard dimensions, sheet metal annotations, reference dimensions, or even preferences such as drawing dimensions, temporary axis display, etc..


 


    • "Plan" Document Objects: This is the most comprehensive section, where you insert objects such as construction lines, centerlines, and callouts. These annotations can be assigned to a specific layer if that layer is specified and present in the document template being used. To automatically insert tables, simply click the icon and select the table template for each required type (revision table, hole table, welded parts list, bill of materials, etc.). This list displays the table templates located in the folders specified in the SOLIDWORKS General Options. These tables may or may not be attached to the anchor point.
