Used to easily insert drawing frames in different formats and scales. The program package comes loaded with several sample frames and borders. You can also add your own frames and borders.

A drawing border is inserted as a scaled cell corresponding to the drawing scale. The matching original cells are filed in scale 1:1. After having defined a title block with cell tags within a border, you can fill it in using the command ’Drawing Info’.

A dialog gives you access to several well-sorted border variations. The data are filed in a tree structure. The standard version already includes the main entries A0-A4. You can either delete them or add further entries. The actual entries can only be entered as subordinate item under a main item.
